The next new moon.
The last three days of a lunar cycle are often referred to as the waning crescent phase. During this phase, the illuminated portion of the Moon visible from Earth decreases each day until it is no longer visible, marking the end of the lunar cycle.
The moon displays a complete cycle of all its phases every 29.53 days.
The cycle of the moon's phases runs 29.53 days.
Because the lunar cycle is approximately 29.5 days long, the moon phase on any given date will vary slightly each year. This is due to the difference in the number of days in a year versus the number of days in a lunar cycle.
At this point, half way through the cycle, the moon will be full.
Any specific lunar phase can be observed only at the time when that lunar phase occurs, and not again for 29.53 days thereafter.
One lunar cycle is when the moon goes from one phase through every other phase until it returns to the starting point. This takes 29.53 days.
The last three days of a lunar cycle are often referred to as the waning crescent phase. During this phase, the illuminated portion of the Moon visible from Earth decreases each day until it is no longer visible, marking the end of the lunar cycle.
The moon displays a complete cycle of all its phases every 29.53 days.
The length of each moon phase varies, but on average, each phase lasts about 3.5 days. The complete lunar cycle, from one new moon to the next, is about 29.5 days.
The cycle of the moon's phases runs 29.53 days.

The Lunar cycle.
At this point, half way through the cycle, the moon will be full.
The lunar cycle lasts 28 days.
The waning crescent moon occurs just before the new moon, as the illuminated portion of the moon visible from Earth decreases in size. It is the final phase of the lunar cycle before the start of a new cycle.
