The half-illuminated moon will rise before midnight and will disappear at dawn before setting at midday on Sunday.

Following this is the new moon, at which point the moon's illuminated side is fully facing the sun appearing near invisible from here on Earth. At this point, the moon rises and set with, meaning it is out during the day. Following this, the lighted side of the moon grows and the moon begins to rise later each day — during which it is described as waxing — continuing until it is once again fully illuminated during the next full moon.

The divide between the light side and the dark side of the moon is called the 'lunar terminator' and during the last quarter, it marks sunset on the moon. On the flip side of this, during the first quarter, the lunar terminator shows sunrise on the moon. During both the first and last quarters from above the moon's axis, the lunar terminator is aligned with the terminator line of Earth that divides night and day on our planet.

The next lunar cycle begins with the new moon on Sept. 25, with the next full moon on Oct. 9 and then the next last quarter moon rising on Oct. 17.
