Waning Gibbous: The Moon Begins to Decline

The waning gibbous phase follows the full moon, where the illuminated portion of the moon gradually decreases, from 99% down to 71%. This phase marks the beginning of the moon's journey toward the last quarter, as the light slowly fades away.
During this time, the moon’s light is still strong, but the cycle of decline has begun.
