arrange the lunar phases in the correct order, starting with the new moon.
first - quarter moon

new moon
waxing gibbous moon
waxing crescent moon
waning gibbous moon
third - quarter moon

Explanation:

The lunar cycle starts with the new Moon. Then, the Moon waxes (grows in illumination) through waxing crescent, first - quarter, waxing gibbous, until it reaches full Moon. After the full Moon, it wanes (decreases in illumination) through waning gibbous, third - quarter, and back to new Moon (though the last step here is arranging up to the phases given, but the order of waxing and waning phases is as follows: new Moon → waxing crescent → first - quarter → waxing gibbous → full Moon → waning gibbous → third - quarter → new Moon, but for the given tiles, the order starting from new Moon is new Moon, waxing crescent Moon, first - quarter Moon, waxing gibbous Moon, full Moon, waning gibbous Moon, third - quarter Moon.
