It starts from what everyone has seen, a crescent one night and a full disc another, and explains that the moon's shape never changes. The sun always lights half of it; as the moon orbits the Earth we see more or less of that lit half, from the dark new moon through the growing crescent and the first quarter to the full moon, and back again.
