The term "Waxing Gibbous" refers to a specific phase of the Moon that occurs after the First Quarter and before the Full Moon. During this phase, more than half of the Moon's surface is illuminated by the Sun, making it appear bright and round. The term "waxing" means that the illuminated portion is increasing, while "gibbous" describes the shape, which is bulging or convex. As the Waxing Gibbous progresses, the lighted area continues to grow until it reaches full illumination at the Full Moon. This phase is a great time for stargazing and observing celestial events, as the bright Moon can enhance the beauty of the night sky.
