The waning gibbous moon is waning. not waxing, full, or new. It is just past full and illuminated generally from the left. This phase of the Moon is seen to rise a little while after sunset, a few days or so after Full Moon the waning gibbous Moon appears nearly full and might be mistaken for a full Moon. The Moon in this phase sets just shortly after sunrise and is generally seen by casual observers early in the morning. Gibbous moon is waning. Not waxing, full, or new.
