In
art and symbolism, a crescent is generally the shape produced when acircular
disk has a segment of another circle removed from its edge, so that what
remains is a shape enclosed by two circular arcs of different diameters which
intersect at two points (usually in such a manner that the enclosed shape does
not include the center of the original circle).
In
astronomy, a crescent is the shape of the lit side of a spherical body (most
notably the Moon) that appears to be less than half illuminated by the Sun as
seen by the viewer. Mathematically, assuming the terminator lies on a great
circle, such a crescent will actually be the figure bounded by a half-ellipse
and a half-circle, with the major axis of the ellipse coinciding with a
diameter of the semicircle. The direction in which the "horns" (the
points at the intersection of the two arcs) face indicates whether a crescent
is waxing (also young, or increasing) or waning (also old, or decreasing).
Eastward pointing horns (pointing to the left, as seen from the Northern
hemisphere) indicate a waxing crescent, whereas westward pointing horns
(pointing to the right, as seen from the Northern hemisphere) indicate a waning
crescent. Note that the directions the horns point relative to the observer are
reversed in the Southern hemisphere.
The
word crescent is derived etymologically from the present participle of the
Latin verb crescere "to grow", thus meaning "waxing" or
"increasing", and so was originally applied to the form of the waxing
moon (luna crescens). The English word is now commonly used to refer to either
the waxing or waning shape. In the technical language of blazoning used in
heraldry, the word "increscent" refers to a crescent shape with its
horns to the left, and "decrescent" refers to one with its horns to
the right.
