The Bluetti AC180 portable power station is currently 25% off at Amazon, bringing it down to $449 from $599 for a limited time. That's a $150 savings on a 1,152Wh battery backup that can come in handy during power outages, camping trips, or anywhere you need reliable electricity without an outlet nearby. 

The AC180 has a 1,152 Wh LiFePO4 battery and can deliver up to 1,800 watts of power, with a boost mode that pushes output to 2,700 watts via the Bluetti app. That's enough power for everything from phones and laptops to larger household gear that needs more electricity. It has eight outlets, so you can run multiple devices at once.

The battery can also charge surprisingly quickly. Plug it into an AC outlet, and Bluetti says it can go from 0% to 80% in about 45 minutes, with a full charge taking around an hour using the station's maximum 1,440W AC input.

If you're using the AC180 somewhere without reliable grid access, you can pair it with solar panels. The power station supports up to 500W of solar input, which Bluetti says can fully recharge it in roughly 2.8 to 3.3 hours under suitable conditions. 

If backup power has been on your list, this is a good time to grab the Bluetti AC180 portable power station for $449.

The NYT's latest daily word game has launched in association with The Athletic, the New York Times property that provides the publication's sports coverage. The sports Connections can be played on both web browsers and mobile devices and require players to group four words that share something in common.

Each puzzle features 16 words, and each grouping of words is split into four categories. These sets could comprise anything from book titles, software, country names, etc. Even though multiple words will seem like they fit together, there's only one correct answer.

If a player gets all four words in a set correct, those words are removed from the board. Guess wrong and it counts as a mistake — players get up to four mistakes before the game ends.

The latest country to introduce a social media ban for kids? New Zealand.

Announced by Prime Minister Christopher Luxon on Monday, a new bill proposed by the government would prevent children under 16 from accessing social media platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and Snapchat, as well as AI companions.

The Online Safety (Minimum Age and Child Safety Risk Assessment) Bill will also "put greater responsibilities" on tech companies to protect children online.

SEE ALSO: Which countries have banned social media for kids?

"Obviously, parents have a role to play in monitoring what social media platform their children are on, but so do social media companies," Luxon said in a press statement.  "We have protections to keep children safe in the real world and we need them in the virtual world too."

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Like Australia's precedent-setting social media ban and subsequent moves in other countries, the Online Safety Bill will require "high risk" social media companies to take "reasonable steps" to ensure age verification functions properly on their platforms — including using age estimation tools and digital ID services. Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, and Facebook were named as "high risk," with the government including AI companions under the law's scope.

Online age verification laws have been rolling out across the globe over the last few years alongside online safety acts, while coming under criticism for efficiency and their impact on digital privacy and free speech.

Companies could be fined up to $40 million or 10 percent of a platform's global revenue for failing to meet the New Zealand bill's requirements. Introduced on Monday, the Online Safety Bill will need to be approved by parliament, after which platforms will have six months to comply with the terms.

Featured Video For You Is ChatGPT Changing the Way We Write?

The proposed law will also mean social media companies will need to regularly assess and report on potential risks for users under 18, and an online safety regulator will be established within New Zealand's Department of Internal Affairs, which will oversee the bill.

"New Zealand's current regulatory framework does not adequately safeguard children online," the bill reads. "While some protections exist, there is no overarching framework that regulates social media platforms or platforms with social AI companions to help protect children from the risk of online harm."

Children under 16 are consistently finding themselves at the fore of political conversations around social media, with countries including Australia, the UK, Canada, Brazil, and more aiming to reduce Big Tech companies' hold on young people's attention. For more, read Mashable's guide to the countries where social media is banned for kids.

Social media bans for kids are quickly becoming the global legislation trend of the moment.

Children under 16 are finding themselves at the center of political conversations, with countries including Australia, the UK, Canada, Brazil, Austria, and Indonesia, and more attempting to wrangle Big Tech companies' hold on young people's attention.

SEE ALSO: Australia's kid social media ban is ineffective, study suggests

Online age verification laws are taking shape by the month, with governments citing the need to address issues including child sexual exploitation, cyberbullying, self-harm, and the impact on kids' mental health, as well as "addictive" design, violent content, and porn. However, these laws have also come under severe criticism for efficiency and their impact on digital privacy and free speech.

Plus, kids are already finding ways around them.

So, where are we at, globally? Which countries have followed Australia's example and are rolling out their own social media bans? Here's the list, alphabetically, and incidentally starting with the one who started it all.

Australia

The first to do it, Australia set a global precedent in Dec. 2025 with its world-first social media ban for children under 16. The Online Safety Amendment (Social Media Minimum Age) Act requires social media platforms such as TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, X, and Snapchat to implement age verification and take "reasonable steps" to prevent kids under 16 from creating accounts. However, a July 2026 study by Australian government advisors found the ban so far ineffective.

Plus, Reddit is suing.

Austria

Following in Australia's footsteps with fewer letters, in March 2026, Austria announced a bill to ban social media use for children under 14. With a draft planned for completion by summer, Austria's legislation would also add a new compulsory subject, "Media and Democracy," to school curriculums to boost awareness of "how to recognise disinformation and radicalisation."

Brazil

Brazil's social media ban, the Digital Statute of Children and Adolescents, came into force in March 2026. The law requires kids under 16 to link their social media accounts with a legal guardian, and tech platforms must add age verification for users wanting to access adult content. It also means social media platforms must limit "features designed to artificially increase, sustain, or extend" time kids spend on the platforms, including automatically playing videos.

Canada

Canada is set to ban users under 16 from holding social media accounts, with a proposed law announced by the Canadian government on June 11, 2026. The Safe Social Media Act will enforce age verification to access online services and legally mandated safety requirements for social media platforms like TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram. But Canadian law will also apply to companies that use AI chatbots such as ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude.

Denmark

Denmark is planning a social media ban for kids under 15, announced back on Oct. 8, 2025, by the country's prime minister, Mette Frederiksen. According to the Associated Press, the law could arrive in 2026, but there's no date or details yet. Reports also suggest parents could allow their children to use social media from the age of 13.

Featured Video For You Is ChatGPT Changing the Way We Write? European Union

An EU-wide social media ban for kids under 13 could be coming, announced July 13, 2026. Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission (the EU's executive body), presented a report on online safety for children, which recommended age-appropriate restrictions on platforms (the EU has launched its own age verification app), parental supervision for social media use, and the insistence that digital platforms "must prove that their services do no harm."

But it won't just be social media that's impacted. As Mashable's Anna Iovine reports, it could apply to "other digital services such as AI companions, video-sharing platforms, and video games."

France

France is ready to approve its social media ban for kids under 15, with the government reaching a compromise on the bill on July 20, 2026. Once it's through, France will be the first European country to officially enact such a ban. According to Le Monde, the social media ban will block under-15s from creating new accounts as of Sept. 1, and in Jan. 2027, all existing accounts will come under the law.

Germany

Germany hasn't yet rolled out a social media ban, but the government is considering it.

Greece

Greece plans to ban social media for kids under 15, with Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis announcing the proposed law on April 8, 2026. In a TikTok video, translated by the BBC, Mitsotakis cited sleep issues and anxiety in children caused by "the pressure to always be online," and he criticized "the addictive design of certain applications." If passed, the measure will take effect on Jan. 1, 2027, and the PM said age verification is also needed.

Indonesia

Indonesia announced it would ban social media for children under 16 on March 6, 2026. As reported by the BBC, the country's minister of communication and digital affairs, Meutya Hafid, said anyone under 16 with an account on a "high risk" online platform would see it deactivated by the end of March, naming "YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, Threads, X, Bigo Live, and Roblox."

Malaysia

Malaysia has banned social media for under-16s, with communications minister Fahmi Fadzil announcing the Online Safety Act 2025 (ONSA) in Nov. 2025. The law came into force on Jan. 1, 2026, but it really got started on June 1, 2026. As NBC News reports, requires social media companies to add age verification and to prohibit kids under 16 from creating accounts on platforms with at least 8 million users (that means YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook). The law also requires social media companies "to limit features that increase, sustain, or extend" kids' online time.

New Zealand

New Zealand's government introduced the Online Safety (Minimum Age and Child Safety Risk Assessment) Bill to parliament on Aug. 24. Announced by Prime Minister Christopher Luxon, the bill would prevent children under 16 from accessing social media platforms and AI companions, and will "put greater responsibilities" on tech companies to protect children online. The Online Safety Bill will need to be passed into law by parliament, after which platforms will have six months to comply.

Poland

Poland is looking to ban kids under 15 from social media, with Education Minister Barbara Nowacka announcing plans on Feb. 26, 2026. Yes, that would mean age verification on social media sites and big fines for companies not enforcing them.

Slovenia

Slovenia is set to ban social media access for kids under 15, with draft legislation announced by Deputy Prime Minister Matej Arčon on Feb. 5, 2026.

Spain

Spain announced plans to ban social media for children under 16 on Feb. 3, 2026, with the country's prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, promising to "protect them from the digital Wild West." The proposed bill, which still needs to be passed by parliament, will hold social media companies (including their executives) liable for "illegal or harmful content" existing on their platforms. "We will turn algorithmic manipulation and amplification of illegal content into a new criminal offence,” Sánchez said at the World Governments Summit in Dubai in February.

Thailand

Thailand hasn't announced a social media ban yet, but there's a lot of discussion about it.

Turkey

Turkey passed a bill on April 23, 2026, that blocks kids under 15 from accessing social media platforms. According to the Associated Press, which cited state media reports, the law will require age verification on social media, rapid responses by companies to "harmful" content, and expanded parental controls.

United Kingdom

The UK confirmed an impending social media ban for under-16s on June 15, 2026, following the rollout of age verification in the country in July 2025 (it's kind of working?). The government explicitly said it "plans to use the same model for a social media ban as Australia," with the intention of broadening the law to cover other platforms, including livestreaming and gaming sites.

The UK is also considering overnight curfews for teens aged 16 and 17 and blocking infinite-scroll mechanisms for kids.

Welcome to your guide to Pips, the latest game in the New York Times catalogue.

Released in August 2025, Pips puts a unique spin on dominoes, creating a fun single-player experience that could become your next daily gaming habit.

Currently, if you're stuck, the game only offers to reveal the entire puzzle, forcing you to move on to the next difficulty level and start over. However, we have you covered! Below are piecemeal answers that will serve as hints so that you can find your way through each difficulty level.

How to play Pips

If you've ever played dominoes, you'll have a passing familiarity with how Pips is played. As we've shared in our previous hints stories for Pips, the tiles, like dominoes, are placed vertically or horizontally and connect with each other. The main difference between a traditional game of dominoes and Pips is the color-coded conditions you have to address. The touching tiles don't necessarily have to match.

SEE ALSO: Wordle today: Answer, hints for August 24, 2026

The conditions you have to meet are specific to the color-coded spaces. For example, if it provides a single number, every side of a tile in that space must add up to the number provided. It is possible — and common — for only half a tile to be within a color-coded space.

Here are common examples you'll run into across the difficulty levels:

• Number: All the pips in this space must add up to the number.

• Equal: Every domino half in this space must be the same number of pips.

• Not Equal: Every domino half in this space must have a completely different number of pips.

• Less than: Every domino half in this space must add up to less than the number.

• Greater than: Every domino half in this space must add up to more than the number.

If an area does not have any color coding, it means there are no conditions on the portions of dominoes within those spaces.

Tesla has issued a massive recall for its cars in China, but it wasn't alone.

On Monday, the company recalled 2,975,910 vehicles in the country over Tesla's emergency mechanical door release, which the Chinese regulator found difficult to identify and operate.

SEE ALSO: Tesla is preparing to launch the Cybercab soon

Tesla vehicles have flush door handles on the outside, and are opened by pressing a button from the inside, but there's an additional mechanical release latch within the car door that opens it in case of emergency. However, China’s State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) found that this latch matches the color of the interior trim too closely, potentially making it hard to find in an emergency.

In total, 973,156 China-built Model 3s, and 1,956,713 Model Ys were recalled, alongside 35,590 imported Model 3s, 8,328 imported Model Xs, and 2,123 imported Model S vehicles.

Other car manufacturers including Xiaomi, Xpeng, and Geely issued recalls for similar issues in their cars as well.

This is Tesla's largest recall in China, but it won't be as costly as it appears. The company plans to solve it with warning labels, as well as an over-the-air update that makes the car's windows lower automatically after a collision.

Additionally and separately, Tesla issued a recall for over 2 million cars in China over inadequate driver monitoring. SAMR found that Tesla's system of checking whether the driver holds the wheel is insufficient, requiring instead that Teslas also track the driver's eyes. This is a solution that Tesla already implements in some models and markets, and will be remedied with a software update.

This recall covers a total of 2,740,642 Model 3 and Model Y vehicles, all manufactured in China.

Tesla's door handles were the subject of a probe in the U.S. following reports that door handles in several Model Ys stopped working, leaving children trapped in the cars. It's unclear whether Tesla plans to issue any sort of recall related to the door handles globally.

It's bizarre that a movie like Coyote vs. Acme might never have seen the light of day on a projector. And yet here we are.

In a time when Hollywood is ravenous for safe IP, a Looney Tunes comedy starring the likes of Will Forte, John Cena, and Lana Condor should have seemed an easy layup for box office success.

Add to that it was written by Academy Award–nominated screenwriter Samy Burch (May December) and produced by James Gunn, who Warner Bros. handed the reins of DC Studios to, it would seem Coyote vs. Acme could have been a tentpole for the storied studio, appealing to the family demographic hungry for fun for all ages. And yet, in November of 2023, Warner Bros. Entertainment shocked the industry by announcing the completed film would be shelved indefinitely, so they could claim a tax loss of about $30 million.

SEE ALSO: Shelved 'Coyote vs. Acme' will finally get a theatrical release

WB took similar write-downs for Batgirl and Scoob! Holiday Haunt, leaving fans of both properties drop-jawed and powerless. Thankfully, Looney Tunes fans have been spared such profound frustration by Ketchup Entertainment, which successfully bought the distribution rights to Coyote vs. Acme. And just like that, a silly David versus Goliath story became weirdly self-reflective.

Coyote vs. Acme is the underdog tale we need right now. Wile E. Coyote and Will Forte star in "Coyote vs. Acme." Credit: Ketchup Entertainment

Directed by Dave Green, Coyote vs. Acme imagines a world like Who Framed Roger Rabbit? or 2022's Chip and Dale: Rescue Rangers. In all three films, cartoon characters live alongside live-action humans and are often treated with disdain for their lunacy. But Coyote vs. Acme takes this culture clash to a socio-political level, creating a satire that's silly and stuffed with slapstick, but thought-provoking all the same.

Leave it to Burch, who turned the sordid tale of Mary Kay Letourneau into a deliciously uncomfortable dark comedy, to create a whistleblower legal drama centered around a chaotic coyote, known for his failures of catching a bright blue roadrunner. Their story begins when, after another failed attempt to use Acme products to snare the speedy bird, Wile E. Coyote sees a cheesy commercial for the law offices of Avery, Jones, and Maltese (each name a nod to a classic Looney Tunes animator: Tex Avery, Chuck Jones, and Michael Maltese).

Will Forte stars as Kevin Avery, a lawyer who makes his living suing Acme in small claims court. In his ad, he's giving Cellino and Barnes, promising cartoon clients quick cash for their pain and suffering. His partners, Sal Maltese (Tone Bell) and Dottie Jones (Martha Kelly), are similarly focused, seeking easy settlements that require no court time. However, when Wile E. shows up with a mountain of evidence of Acme's faulty products, a big case sits before Kevin whether he likes it or not. And he does not!

Condor co-stars as Kevin's ambitious, fresh-out-of-law-school niece Paige, who sees in this pile of broken gadgets not just a chance to put her skills to the test, but also to make a difference in how Acme treats its cartoon customers. You see, Acme also makes phones and cars for humans, and those all seem to be pretty safe. So, what's going on that all their cartoon products seem wildly dangerous?

Coyote vs. Acme offers a whistleblower thriller amid its shenanigans. John Cena and Foghorn Leghorn share a laugh in "Coyote vs. Acme." Credit: Ketchup Entertainment

The film opens with a refreshing throwback sequence. In an Acme factory under strict surveillance, Dr. Peter Lorre (a caricature that resembles the late, iconic Hungarian actor) is sending out some top-secret information to an unknown outsider. He'll get the parcel out of the building, but won't escape himself. Instead, a nefarious fleet of menacing men will throw him an Acme hole, black and potentially bottomless. He has two options: jump or be pushed. He warns that they won't be able to hide the truth forever, and then he jumps, vanishing to an unknown. The title card then jumps ahead 30 years.

While the main plotline follows Kevin begrudgingly taking Wile E.'s case, and facing off against a buff and arrogant lawyer played by John Cena, the b-plot follows Paige as she tries to make sense of what Acme might be hiding. Their journeys loop in classic Looney Tunes like Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Elmer Fudd, and Bugs Bunny, as well as appearances by Granny, Tweety, Foghorn Leghorn, and more.

Along the way, Kevin's resolve strengthens and his connection to Wile E. grows — despite the fact that the latter never speaks, preferring handheld signs, furrowed eyebrows, and an imaginative use of paper dolls to get his points across. Forte is a perfect scene partner to a literal cartoon. It's not just that the comedian has loaned his voice to a variety of cartoons, including Bob's Burgers, The Great North, Gravity Falls, Haunted Hotel, Rick and Morty, American Dad!, Clone High, Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, and many, many more. It's that Forte's comic sensibilities can shift from deadpan to impish in the blink of an eye. He's perfectly cast as a lovable loser called upon to be a noble hero. He's so lovable you want to believe in him, but so damn goofy (see also MacGruber) that failure seems a very real possibility.

Like Roger Rabbit and Chip and Dale's movies, Coyote vs. Acme uses its lovable toons to counter the darkness of their crime plots. But here, rather than a jaded private investigator or a jaded has-been, Burch offers a loser who's always been too afraid to try. As Acme's high-priced and bullying lawyers ready for battle, it's easy to understand Kevin's fear. But watching him band together with a motley crew of screw-ups and goofballs is heartwarming, a reminder that sometimes that's all we have. And we can be our own warriors, whatever the rich, polished, and I say, I say, I say, privileged throw our way.

To Green's credit, he brings a vivid life to Looney Tunes' signature slapstick, showing Daffy go wild, Porky get pummeled, or Wile E. get blown to smithereens with aplomb. Adding a shadow layer to their coloring strengthens the visual sense that they are in our world, impacted by the same forces we are. And this makes the courtroom scenes all the more fun.

Like Inherit the Wind or My Cousin Vinny, Coyote vs. Acme relishes the stagework of the courtroom scene. Forte fumbles brilliantly, while Foghorn Leghorn strides like the Southern country lawyer who's become a staple in the legal drama genre. Burch shrewdly creates a spoof without losing the stakes of this case. So, as the squeaking gavel goes down, we might giggle, but our breaths catch as we wait for the verdict.

Simply put, Coyote vs. Acme is a really good movie. It likely will be ignored by Oscar. It won't make Odyssey money. But it's not bedraggled by pandering fan service or incoherent between its action sequences. It's smart, silly, and ultimately inspiring. It's the kind of movie I'd have rushed to see after school with my friends, the kind I look forward to watching with my niblings. It's both timely and timeless, bringing classic characters to a modern space where they still make silliness make sense.

To see something like this, entertaining and poignant and daring, be chucked by a major studio for a tax write-off should scare every movie lover. So, in some sense, this movie is the call to action it advocates for in its final act. Its release, coming after much public outcry from fans and filmmakers alike, is evidence that when the cold corporations favor money over art, community, and joy, we need to be the underdog willing to spit in their eye. Because if not us, who?

Coyote vs. Acme opens in theaters on Aug. 28.

Connections is the one of the most popular New York Times word games that's captured the public's attention. The game is all about finding the "common threads between words."

If you just want to be told today's puzzle, you can jump to the end of this article for today's Connections solution. But if you'd rather solve it yourself, keep reading for some clues, tips, and strategies to assist you.

The NYT's latest daily word game has become a social media hit. The Times credits associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu with helping to create the new word game and bringing it to the publications' Games section. Connections can be played on both web browsers and mobile devices and require players to group four words that share something in common.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Each puzzle features 16 words and each grouping of words is split into four categories. These sets could comprise of anything from book titles, software, country names, etc. Even though multiple words will seem like they fit together, there's only one correct answer.

If a player gets all four words in a set correct, those words are removed from the board. Guess wrong and it counts as a mistake—players get up to four mistakes until the game ends.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Players can also rearrange and shuffle the board to make spotting connections easier. Additionally, each group is color-coded with yellow being the easiest, followed by green, blue, and purple. Like Wordle, you can share the results with your friends on social media.

Wordle eventually became so popular that it was purchased by the New York Times, and TikTok creators even livestream themselves playing.

Today's NYT Strands hints are easy for those with a sweet tooth.

Strands, the New York Times' elevated word-search game, requires the player to perform a twist on the classic word search. Words can be made from linked letters — up, down, left, right, or diagonal, but words can also change direction, resulting in quirky shapes and patterns. Every single letter in the grid will be part of an answer. There's always a theme linking every solution, along with the "spangram," a special, word or phrase that sums up that day's theme, and spans the entire grid horizontally or vertically.

By providing an opaque hint and not providing the word list, Strands creates a brain-teasing game that takes a little longer to play than its other games, like Wordle and Connections.

If you're feeling stuck or just don't have 10 or more minutes to figure out today's puzzle, we've got all the NYT Strands hints for today's puzzle you need to progress at your preferred pace.

Mega Greninja ex can do some useful work in a deck. Mortal Shuriken lets you discard a Basic Water Energy from your hand to place six damage counters on one of your opponent’s Pokémon, before Ninja Spinner can follow with up to 200 damage.

Amazon isn't quite the cheapest place to pick up the Premium Collection. For instance, Walmart currently lists the box at $55.77, making it just under $2 cheaper. TCGplayer goes lower still, with unopened listings starting at $46.55 plus $2 shipping, for a total of $48.55 — only $2.25 below its market price of $46.30.

Anthropic's smart assistant Claude is experiencing a major outage.

Early on Monday, Aug. 24, we've noticed that Claude Fable 5 and Opus 5 aren't responding to our queries, returning an error. "The response didn't load," the error message said. "Due to unexpected capacity constraints, Claude is unable to respond to your message. Try again soon."

The company's own status dashboard for Claude confirms the issue. "We are investigating elevated errors on requests to Claude Mythos 5, Claude Fable 5, Claude Opus 5, and Claude Opus 4.8. We will provide an update as soon as possible," one update said. There's no word on what caused the issues or when we can expect a resolution.

The most recent update at writing time didn't add any new information: "We are continuing to work to resolve issues causing elevated requests on multiple models."

Other companies' LLMs, including OpenAI's ChatGPT, appear to be working fine.

UPDATE: Aug. 24, 2026, 12:04 p.m. CEST The issues appear to be resolved, and Claude Status update now says that all systems are operational. There's no word yet on what caused the problem.

This is a developing story. We'll keep updating as we learn more.

We're only a few days away from the Full Moon now, so if you're hoping to spot some lunar features on its surface, your chances are pretty high. Keep reading to find out what you might be able to see.

What is today’s Moon phase?

As of Monday, Aug. 24, NASA's Daily Moon Guide tracker tells us the Moon is in its Waxing Gibbous phase, with 86% of its surface visible.

Without any visual aids, tonight you can see the Mares Vaporum and Tranquillitatis, and Fecunditatis. Binoculars will help you see these, plus the the Clavius Crater, the Mare Frigoris and the Mare Nectaris. Plus, if you have a telescope, you'll also be able to see the Apollo 11, 14 and 17 landing spots.

When is the next Full Moon?

The next Full Moon will take place on August 28.

What are Moon phases?

The Moon goes through a series of phases that cause its appearance to change as seen from Earth. As the Moon orbits Earth, it goes through a lunar cycle that takes about 29.5 days to complete, according to NASA. The positions of the Sun, Earth, and Moon determine how much of the Moon’s illuminated side is visible from Earth, creating its different phases. Throughout the cycle, the Moon changes from a thin crescent to a half Moon, then a Full Moon, before repeating the cycle once more.

The eight phases are:

New Moon - The Moon is between Earth and the sun, so the side we see is dark (in other words, it's invisible to the eye).

Waxing Crescent - A small sliver of light appears on the right side (Northern Hemisphere).

First Quarter - Half of the Moon is lit on the right side. It looks like a half-Moon.

Waxing Gibbous - More than half is lit up, but it’s not quite full yet.

Full Moon - The whole face of the Moon is illuminated and fully visible.

Waning Gibbous - The Moon starts losing light on the right side. (Northern Hemisphere)

Third Quarter (or Last Quarter) - Another half-Moon, but now the left side is lit.

Waning Crescent - A thin sliver of light remains on the left side before going dark again.
