Image Details:

This crescent moon with 2.6% illumination was captured just before . Crepuscular rays are also clearly seen - these rays originate when the sun is below the horizon during the twilight hours.

The moon was visible for a relatively short duration as it faded away in sunlight as soon as the sun started to rise.
