Last Quarter Phase
The Last Quarter phase is sometimes called a Last Quarter Moon. This phase occurs roughly 3 weeks after the New Moon when the Moon is three quarter of the way through it's orbit around the earth. If you live in the northern hemisphere the Moons left side will be illuminated and the right side will be dark.
For those of you in the southern hemisphere it will be the opposite with the right side illuminated. On the day of the Third Quarter phase the Moon will rise around midnight on the eastern horizon and set in the west around noon the next day.
In the days following the Third Quarter Phase the Moon's illumination will decrees each day until the New Moon.
