* Waxing crescent - between new and first quarter
* First quarter - 50% visible
* Waxing gibbous - between first quarter and full
* Full moon - 100% visible
* Waning gibbous - between full and last quarter
* Last quarter - 0% visible
* Waning crescent - between last quarter and new
* New - cycle repeats
