The sight was soothing to the eyes! Once again the three were at their best display. And the internet said:
"The current moon phase for March 22nd, 2023 is the Waxing Crescent phase. On this day, the moon is 0.9 days old and 0.87% illuminated with a tilt of 152.881°.
The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 368,963.25 km and the moon sign is Aries."
It's the "0.9 days old Moon" that had me dancing. Much has to be right before one can really see that young a moon by naked eye. What a pretty sight!
