Earlier on the way to the store, I saw the new moon - what there was of it - and it struck me as strange.
Know how you have that crescent sliver of white showing? It's on the RIGHT side for a new moon, and on the LEFT for the waning moon, right?
THis sliver was damn nearly on the BOTTOM.
Follow me? I mean granted yes the crescent is not perfectly left or right, it's always rotated a bit, but this was almost perfectly on the BOTTOM of the disc of the moon.
Anyone else see this tonight?
FYI if it makes a difference, I'm in central NY, around Syracuse.
Quoting: SoSayWeAll 883744No...it's on the SUN side of the Moon, regardless of what phase the Moon is. I saw it as I was walking home. Lovely...and the Earthlight was spectacular...but it slipped behind the fog bank before I could make it home and unlimber my scope.
