A scientifically clear landscape illustration explaining the eight phases of the Moon for middle-school students. On a clean deep-navy educational board, place Earth at the center with exactly eight Moon positions on a circular orbit while parallel sunlight enters consistently from the left. Below, show exactly eight corresponding Moon disks in sequence from new moon through waxing, quarter, full and waning phases. Polished flat scientific illustration with subtle dimensional shading, generous whitespace, soft blue, warm yellow sunlight and neutral gray Moon surfaces. Orbit diagram above and phase sequence below, physically consistent illumination, use only small numbers 1 through 8, no dense labels, no extra text, no logo, no watermark.
