Image Details:

The waning gibbous moon at 87.3% here in the night. The moon was 390,188 km away from Earth when this photo was taken. A few days after the full moon, the moon appeaers in this weird shape and the craters are mare are more distinct during this phase when seen using a telescope or any powerful camera lens. This was taken from my camera that has a telephoto lens enabling the moon to be seen in detail.
