About the Waning Crescent
In the final days of the lunar month the Moon is a waning crescent, rising in the east a few hours before the Sun and fading into the dawn. The sliver thins each morning until it disappears into the sunrise glow a day or so before new moon.
Earthshine often lights the dark part of the disc at this phase, and the crescent sits close to the brightest morning planets, making for striking pre-dawn pairings.
Lore and folklore
The old moon of the morning was widely seen as a time to let go: to finish, clear out and rest before the new cycle. Farmers avoided planting and used the days for weeding and clearing ground.
Some traditions called it the balsamic or dark moon and treated its last days as a quiet pause, much as the week is given a day of rest.
Trivia
- The waning crescent is the phase people see least, simply because it is only up before sunrise.
- The thinnest crescents are visible only a day from new moon, low in the brightening dawn.
- The phases repeat every 29.53 days on average, but individual lunar months vary by more than 13 hours.
- Because the Moon rises later each day, the waning crescent moves from midnight to dawn within a week.

This month's full moon: the Snow Moon
February typically brings the heaviest snowfall in North America, and the full moon took its name from it.
Some tribes called it the Hunger Moon because deep snow made hunting hard and stores ran low. The Storm Moon and Bone Moon appear in other traditions for the same reason.
Lore
The Snow Moon marked the hungriest stretch of the year for northern peoples, when stores ran low and hunting was hard in deep snow; the Hunger Moon name says it plainly. In Chinese tradition the first full moon of the lunar year, often in February, is the Lantern Festival that closes the New Year celebrations.
Trivia
- Because February is short, some years have no full moon in February at all; the next is 2037.
- A February Blue Moon is impossible for the same reason.
- The Snow Moon rises far to the north-east and sets far to the north-west, tracing a long, high arc.

How to read this moon calendar
Each day shows the Moon as it looks from Sungai Penuh at midday local time, with the illuminated percentage, moonrise and moonset. Days with a principal phase show the exact local time the phase occurs. Because the Moon moves about 50 minutes later each day, roughly once a month there is a date with no moonrise or no moonset at all.
From the southern hemisphere the Moon appears flipped: a waxing moon is lit on the left. The icons on this page follow that view.
The eight phases of the Moon
New Moon
The Moon sits between Earth and the Sun. Its lit side faces away from us, so it is invisible in the night sky. A new lunar month begins.
Waxing Crescent
A thin sliver grows each evening after sunset. Look low in the west shortly after dusk.
First Quarter
Half the disc is lit. The Moon rises around midday and sets around midnight, so it is high in the sky at sunset.
Waxing Gibbous
More than half lit and growing. It rises in the afternoon and shines most of the night.
Full Moon
The whole face is lit. It rises at sunset and sets at sunrise. Each full moon carries a traditional name.
Waning Gibbous
The lit portion shrinks. It rises after sunset and is still up in the morning sky.
Last Quarter
Half lit again, on the opposite side. It rises around midnight and is best seen in the early morning.
Waning Crescent
A thinning sliver before dawn in the east, fading toward the next new moon.
