Crescent Moon and Earthshine
Sketch and details by Carlos E. Hernandez
I was able to observe the Waning Crescent Moon (27.6 days old) above the eastern horizon covered by pastel bluish-lavender clouds and an orange strip on December 14, 2009 (11:10 U.T.). The Moon was spectacular as it displayed a thin bright white sliver and earthshine was very prominent over the un-illuminated portion. I hope that others were able to view this scene as well.
