Waning Crescent Moon - Just Past Last Quarter

On 11/02/2026 02:44 am by Mandy Daniels | Website | Derbyshire, UK

Shadows cast by crater walls and central peaks can be made out on the floors of craters, particular the large lava flooded crater, Ptolemaeus, which is approximately 154 km in diameter and 2.4 km deep.
