RECORD
: THE NEW MOON CRESCENT - JULY 8 2013
This image shows the tiny lunar crescent at the precise
moment of the New Moon, in full daylight at 7h14min UTC on July 8 2013. It
is the youngest possible crescent, the age of the Moon at this instant being
exactly zero. Celestial north is up in the image, as well as the Sun. The
irregularities and discontinuities are caused by the relief at the edge of the
lunar disk (mountains, craters).
