DirectionAbout the First Quarter Phase
Exactly half of the Moon's visible surface is illuminated — the right half in the Northern Hemisphere. Despite being called a 'quarter,' half the Moon is lit because we're one quarter of the way through the lunar cycle. The Moon rises around noon and sets around midnight.
