Moon Review
The moon is Earth’s only natural satellite.
The Moon does not produce light itself. What is seen is reflected sunlight.
The Moon rotates around the Earth. The same side of the Moon is always
facing the Earth. The first astronaut on the Moon was
Neil Armstrong on July 20th, 1969.

New Moon
The Moon appears dark, because the lighted side is away from the Earth. The
Moon is aligned with the Earth and Sun.
Waxing Crescent
As the Moon revolves around the Earth, a silver of light on the right
side of the Moon is seen, forming a crescent. As the amount of
illuminated area increases, this is termed “waxing”.
1st Quarter Moon
This image occurs when the Moon is about a quarter of the way in its revolution around the Earth. Although it looks like half of the Moon is illuminated, we see half of the half that is facing earth. This is called the first
quarter phase.
Waxing Gibbous Moon
More than a quarter of the Moon is illuminated, but less than a full
Moon. “Waxing” means increasing or growing larger.
Gibbous means more than half, but less than full or bulging.
Full Moon
When the Moon is halfway through its orbit, the half that faces the Sun is totally
illuminated. This occurs two weeks after a new Moon. The Sun, Earth, and Moon are in a line. If they are perfectly aligned, there is a
lunar eclipse.
Waning Gibbous
As the Moon continues the second half of its revolution, the amount of lighted area that’s seen decreases. In this phase, on
the left side of the Moon, a little less than a full Moon is seen, but more than the third
quarter Moon.
Last (Third) Quarter Moon
Sometimes this is referred to as the third quarter Moon. After about three weeks
from the beginning of the cycle, the Moon is about three quarters through its
revolution, and the left half of the circle is illuminated.
Waning Crescent Moon
The Moon is close to completing its revolution, and only a silver of light is
visible on the left side of the Moon. There will soon be a new Moon, and the cycle
will start over again.
