waning gibbous moon
A moon phase showing more than half the visible surface lit, with the illuminated portion shrinking toward a new moon
Meaning
A moon phase showing more than half the visible surface lit, with the illuminated portion shrinking toward a new moon. It commonly represents the moon, night, space, or astronomy in general. In conversation it often conveys nighttime, sleep, calm, or a late-hour mood, and can appear in posts about stargazing or lunar cycles. It is sometimes used alongside other moon phases to suggest a sequence or the passage of time. Because it closely resembles other gibbous phases, its intended meaning can be ambiguous without context.
