NASA Moon Phases
The Moon, Earth's celestial companion, has captivated humanity for millennia with its ever-changing phases that dance across the night sky. NASA, the renowned space agency, plays a pivotal role in unraveling the mysteries of these lunar transformations, shedding light on the secrets of our nearest celestial neighbor.
New Moon: The lunar cycle begins with the New Moon, when the Moon is positioned between the Earth and the Sun. Its sunlit side faces away from us, rendering it invisible in the night sky.
Waxing Crescent: Following the New Moon, a slender crescent of the Moon's sunlit side becomes visible. It marks the Waxing Crescent phase, often appearing as a delicate sliver in the western sky after sunset.
First Quarter: During the First Quarter, exactly half of the Moon's sunlit side is visible from Earth. It takes its place in the evening sky, casting a distinctive half-moon glow.
Waxing Gibbous: As the Moon continues its orbit, it transitions into the Waxing Gibbous phase. More than half of its sunlit side is now visible, illuminating the night with a bright presence.
Full Moon: The Full Moon is a celestial spectacle, with the Moon's entire sunlit side facing Earth. It shines brightly, casting moonlight that bathes our world in an ethereal glow.
