The Lunar X and V are transient lunar features which are visible on the lunar surface for about 4 hours, once a month. Today was the night in Singapore when the moon was 44% illuminated and its first quarter moon phase.

They are caused by sunlight illuminating the edge of craters. The “X” is caused by light illuminating the rims of craters Blanchinus, La Caille and Purback. The “V” is caused by light illuminating crater Ukert along with several smaller craters.
