Young Moon in Orange Sky
On 12/02/2024 05:31 pm by Meiying Lee | Website | New Taipei City, Taiwan
The moon today (December 2) is only one day old and is illuminated by about 1.4%. This moon is not very thin, but because the angle of view from the sun is very small, the moon sets about 30 minutes after sunset. The sky is still very bright at this time, so it is very difficult to observe the moon like this!
I had the idea of a blind cat encountering a dead mouse. After sunset (5:04 pm), I began to look for the thin crescent moon in the orange-red sky. Although I knew the approximate direction, I searched for more than twenty minutes, but there was no trace of the moon. Just when the moon was about to set and the altitude angle was only about 1 degree, I suddenly saw a faint, thin arc in the orange-red sky! Oh my gosh, I really captured this rare young moon! !
