Waxing Gibbous Moon Over Short Sands Beach, York, Maine

On 09/12/2024 07:15 pm by Patricia Evans| Short Sands Beach, York, Maine

As the sun was setting over Short Sands Beach last night, the moon, in the southeastern sky caught my attention. The setting sun gave the moon an orange glow. The phase yesterday was waxing gibbous (oblong) with 63% illumination. I used my tripod to help get a sharper image and definition on the edges of the craters.
