Waning.
Waxing Moon.
The moon is waxing from the new moon to the full moon and waning from the full moon to the new moon. Remember this: when the right is bright it's waxing and when the left is bright it is waning
When over half of the moon is visible, it is called the "gibbous" phase. Specifically, it is referred to as "waxing gibbous" when the moon is increasing in illumination and "waning gibbous" when it is decreasing. This phase occurs after the first quarter and before the full moon.
The phases of the moon can be understood in terms of fractions of the moon's illuminated portion as seen from Earth. The new moon represents 0% illumination, the first quarter at 50%, the full moon at 100%, and the last quarter again at 50%. The waxing crescent and waning crescent phases show increasing and decreasing illumination, respectively, covering fractions between 0% and 50%. Similarly, the waxing gibbous and waning gibbous phases represent illumination between 50% and 100%.
