Just after Sunrise, The Waning Gibous Moon Sets Just Behind a Waving United States Flag on March 19, 2025, in this image from Nasa’s Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans. The Waning Gibous Moon Phase Comes after the full moon. As the moon begins its journey back toward the sun, the opposite side of the moon now reflects the moon’s light. The lighted side appears to shrink, but the moon’s orbit is simply carrying it out of view from our personal. The moon also shows later and later ed night.
