A beautiful, clear morning! Venus, Jupiter and Mars continue their dance
in the east before dawn (if you haven't checked it out recently--or at
all--then I strongly recommend you take your first cuppa out to the
garden tomorrow!) and the waning Gibbous Moon lies between the brow of
Orion and the feet of Gemini. Outstanding!
Luna at 18-days-old is clearly more dim than at the glorious 14-day
point, but also more resolved; details that were lost in the glare of
the Full Moon are emerging as the changing angle of sunlight on the
Lunar surface creates deep shadows to accentuate craters and mountains.
This trend will continue, becoming most obvious around Last Quarter
phase (3rd Nov.), then decreasing as our Moon approaches New.
