Very Young Crescent Moon (April, 2005)This very thin crescent moon is approximately 26.5 hours old. At the time it was the youngest moon I had ever observed; I've since gotten my record down to twenty-four hours. The record for naked eye observation of the youngest crescent moon is 15.5 hours and that with optical aid is 11 2/3 hours. You I've got room for improvement. You can read more about observing the thin crescent moon for yourself here. Good luck and have fun.

Very full almost an eclipse.
Oh my--that is lovely! It's so huge, and I love the barely seen shadow that is the whole of the moon.
