-- If you're observing the moon from a location in the northern hemisphere, like Canada, Russia, the US, or Israel, then it looks like this picture during the waxing crescent phase.

-- If you're observing the moon from a location in the southern hemisphere, like Australia, South Africa, Paraguay, or Antarctica, then it looks like this picture during the waning crescent phase.
