The last quarter moon is the waning crescent phase in the lunar cycle, showing the moon shrinking after the full moon. It's best observed in the early morning and has been considered a symbol of change and transition in many cultures.
Astronomically, it's a phenomenon due to the relative positions of the sun, Earth, and moon, representing a specific point in the moon's orbital cycle. Historically, it served as an essential indicator for agricultural planning in agrarian societies and continues to be the basis of the lunar calendar today.
