After the first-quarter moon, the next noticeable phase is the waxing gibbous moon. During this phase, the moon appears to be more than half illuminated but not yet fully. The progression of the phases goes:
1. New Moon
2. Waxing Crescent
3. First Quarter
4. Waxing Gibbous
5. Full Moon
So, the waxing gibbous phase follows the first-quarter moon and comes before the full moon.
Which follows a first-quarter moon but comes before a full moon?(
