Waxing crescent Moon. As the Moon orbits the Earth,the amount of sunlight on its visible hemisphere varies in a regular 28-day cycle. This is a waxing crescent Moon one day after the First Quarter,about 7 days into the cycle. As the cycle progresses,darkness recedes to the top as the lunar day progresses.
