"Unveiling Moon Phases: A Journey through Lunar Illumination"

"Moon phases are the changing shapes of the Moon as it orbits Earth. These phases include the New Moon when it's not visible, Waxing Crescent with a growing sliver, First Quarter with half illuminated, Waxing Gibbous with more light, Full Moon with its entire face lit, Waning Gibbous with decreasing light, Last Quarter with another half lit, and Waning Crescent as it wanes to darkness before starting the cycle anew."
