Luna Menguante

A waning crescent moon (appearing to become smaller), the last of the phases of the moon. Depicts the moon as a cratered disc, its left side illuminated in a thin, golden or silver crescent, its remainder dark.

May be used to represent the moon more generally, nighttime, outer space, and astronomy. May also be used to convey enchanting or eerie feelings.
