#marefrigorum

Hello, Mare Crisium. Hello waxing crescent. Hello earthshine. It’s cool to think that light from the Sun hits Earth and reflects to illuminate the dark part of the Moon, which reflects it back to my eyes so I can actually pick out Mare Frigoris and Oceanus Procellarum. Also, a full Earth on the Moon is something like seventy times brighter than the full Moon. More Moon pics for the next week or two! #marecrisium #marefrigorum #waxingcrescent #earthshine #iphoneastrophotography #Moon #lunarphotography #20xbinoculars https://www.instagram.com/p/CO38RAxFGpD/?igshid=1ia25adaxj27u

I knew it was hazy this evening, but I figured we could try for a witchy Moon. It didn’t disappoint. Not a huge amount of detail, of course, but what I find rather interesting is that the edge details, like Mare Crisium and Mare Frigorum, are the ones that pop out the most. #waxinggibbous #witchymoon #marecrisium #marefrigorum https://www.instagram.com/p/CM3Jvf-lHwg/?igshid=1orzlu4eh4p06
