Waning Gibbous Moon
Waning means "Fading" and Gibbous means "Bulging"
- a gibbous moon is less than full but more than half illuminated.
Gibbous moons occur on either side of the full moon, either waxing - growing, or waning - fading. In a gibbous phase, the moon reveals the contours of its craters on the shadow side.
