The waxing crescent moon at 3.9% full tonight in Singapore. Photo was taken as it was about 45 mins away from moonset in the WSW direction. The moon was about 359, 146 km away from Earth. While taking many shots of the moon, one particular photo turn out like the above due to the camera being shaken while taking the photo. But strangely the earthshine on Moon in this photo was not affected though the pattern of the moon had formed below it. Today's earthshine on the moon was clearly visible exposing the craters and moon mare clearly in the rest of the photos that I had taken.
