Waning Gibbous Moon

A full moon is a beautiful and impressive sight, but on a clear night a partial moon can reveal more of the shape of the lunar landscape. This is of course a result of the angle of the sunlight. Side-lighting tends to accentuate texture.

Here is the lovely Selene just past midnight tonight.
