The phase of the moon that comes right after the new moon is the waxing crescent. It is when a small sliver of the moon's illuminated side becomes visible from Earth.
No; it comes after. In order, the phases are: New Moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, third (or last) quarter, then the waning crescent.
After the new moon, the part of the moon that is visible to us grows in size as it progresses towards the full moon phase. This phase is known as the waxing phase, during which the illuminated part of the moon gradually increases in size each night.
One week from now, the moon will likely be in the first quarter phase, where half of the moon is illuminated. The new moon phase is followed by the waxing crescent phase and then the first quarter phase in the lunar cycle.
The phase of the Moon that comes immediately before the new Moon phase is the waning crescent phase.
