Did a circle doodle from the handphone app.

This is the image of the waxing crescent moon at about 18 % full taken last night. To have some fun with the photograph, I drew a circle doodle via the phone app to imagine the shape of the 'full' moon. As it can be seen , sunlight is being reflected on the bottom of the moon where the sun had just set in the southwest of Singapore. If one look keep looking at the waxing crescent moon, they are actually seeing a thin fraction of the moon's day side, or illuminated side, and a larger fraction of the moon's night side, the side of the moon submerged in the moon's own shadow.

The Waxing Crescent is an intermediate phase of the Moon, which starts after the New Moon and lasts until the First Quarter Moon. From this picture that was taken in the night skies, one could see Mare Crisium, the "Sea of Crises" which is a lunar mare located in the Moon's Crisium basin, just northeast of Mare Tranquillitatis. The basin is of the Pre-Imbrian period, 4.55 to 3.85 billion years ago. It is simply amaing a conventional hand held camera could allow a human eye to see the plains in so much clarity despite being at a distance of about 367,000 km away from Earth.

Sorry if you need to squint your eyes to see the full shape of the moon in this picture.
