At the time of the "First Quarter" and "Third Quarter" phases, the moon appears
half-illuminated. These occasions are roughly 7 days and 21 days after New Moon

Both phases are easily visible in the daytime. First Quarter rises in the east
around Noon, and Third Quarter sets in the west around Noon.
