Waxing Crescent

 

Just before I went to bed last Friday, I caught site of the moon setting in the southwestern sky.  I grabbed my camera and took a few shots.  This was the best of the group.  With the moon so low in the sky, it had taken on a yellow glow.  I asked Google what phase it was in on Friday and learned that it was a "waxing crescent".  

Looking at it makes me a bit jealous of those brave astronauts who recently made the trip around the back of the moon.  What an adventure that was.
