Daily Postcard: Crescent Moon Shines Over White Rock
Daily Postcard: A waxing crescent moon shines over White Rock Thursday following the snowstorm. In the day or so after every new moon, a slim smile of a moon – a waxing crescent – appears in the west shortly after sunset. Some people think a moon visible in the west after sunset is a rising moon. It’s not; it’s a setting moon. As Earth spins under the sky, all sky objects rise in the east and set in the west. A waxing crescent moon – visible in the western sky – quickly follows the sun below the western horizon. Source: earthsky.org. Photo by Paulette Woodall Read More
