A Delicate Waning Crescent Moon, Just 1.5% Illuminated

On the morning of November 8, 2026, I captured this exceptionally thin waning crescent Moon from the United Arab Emirates.

Only 1.5% of the lunar disc was illuminated, marking the final days of Jumada al-Awwal 1448 AH in the Islamic lunar calendar, just before the new moon on November 9.
