After a waxing gibbous moon you will see what moon phase next?
"Waxing" is the term used when the Moon's illuminated part is growing in size, while "waning" means that the lighted part is decreasing. "Gibbous" means more than half, but not full. So "waxing gibbous" is the phase of the Moon between the first quarter and the full moon.
What is the name of the moons changing shapes?
The apparent changes in the moon's shape are called waxing and waning. The moon is waxing when it goes from a new moon (you can't see it) to a full moon and it is waning as it goes from a full moon to a new moon. What appears to us as a change in shape is caused by the position of the moon with respect to the Earth and the sun. When the Earth is completely between the moon and the sun, no light is able to hit the moon and we see a new moon. When the Earth is partially between the sun and the moon. Lastly, when the Earth is not between the sun and the moon, we see a full moon.

The actual order of the phases is: New, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full, waning gibbous, third quarter, waning crescent.
