![]() The moon is close to the Sun in the sky and the right edge will become brighter as it approaches 50% illumination and the First Quarter phaseįun fact: although only a small part of the Moon is illuminated in the Waxing Crescent phase, you can still sometimes see the rest of moon as faintly visible. The actual length will vary because of the elliptical shaped orbit of the moon. The Waxing Crescent phase, like all moon phases, will last for just over 7 days. In the Waxing Crescent phase the moon rises before noon in the east, transits the meridian before sunset, before setting in the west before midnight. In this phase, the moon will go from 0.1% to 49.9% illuminated before reaching the First Quarter phase. In this part of the moon cycle, the Moon is moving away from the Sun and is becoming more and more illuminated by sunlight. This is the phase where the moon started to become visible again after the New Moon. The Moon phase for yesterday is a Waxing Crescent phase.
