This past week, the moon has been in a waxing gibbous phase. That means it gets lit more each day by the sun as it approaches Full Moon. And, that is tomorrow!
I took this photo on Monday by the Methodist Church on Fifth Street in Hollister. The word gibbous comes from the Latin word gibbosus, which means humpbacked. What do you think? Does the moon look like it's a humpback?

Yes, I love your pretty moon December.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteI always enjoy daytime moon shots. This one's a beauty. And I do think, with a little imagination, humpback is a good descriptor.
ReplyDelete:-) Thanks!
DeleteGood capture

ReplyDeleteI'm glad we were late doing our errands that day.
DeleteI don't know about the humpback part but the photo is very nice.
