Waning Crescent Moon

  • during the Waning Crescent Moon phase, the illuminated part of the Moon decreases from the lit up semicircle at Third Quarter until it disappears from view entirely at New Moon. 
  • waning means that it is getting smaller while crescent refers to the curved shape similar to a banana or a boat.
