The Waxing Crescent Moon

I never tire of looking at the moon.  It changes every night, night after night.  This is a "waxing" crescent moon which means it is growing in size each night. The opposite of that is the "waning" moon, meaning the illuminated part we see is getting smaller each night.  Please click on this photo and look at the detail of the craters in the lower left side of the photograph.  It is a beautiful and yet astounding object, especially if you can view its battered surface in a telescope.  Stop by some time, and I will show you the moon.
