A waxing crescent moon sometimes called a young moon and is always seen in the west after sunset. This is a Waxing Crescent Moon about 30% illuminated by sunshine.
You sometimes see a pale glow on the darkened portion (night side) of a crescent moon. This glow is due to light reflected from Earth’s day side. It’s called earthshine.
