The Moon, aged 9 Days. We've missed a few images due to overcast and rainy weather here in coastal Virginia, but tonight Luna shone bright in a clear sky as members of the VPAS (Virginia Peninsula Astronomy/ Stargazers) group--and a few members of the Public--met at Grundland Park (Hampton) to enjoy a few hours' observations.
I was particularly fascinated by the sight of craters Copernicus (left of center) and Clavius (far to the south); they've recently emerged from darkness and are nicely accentuated by the sharp shadows cast across their floors. Beautiful!
