Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The far side of the Moon is in the waning gibbous phase when the near side is in the waxing crescent phase. This is because the phases of the Moon are determined by the relative positions of the Earth, Moon, and Sun, so when one side of the Moon is illuminated less (waxing crescent), the opposite side is illuminated more (waning gibbous).
