Recuperation journey: Looking at the sky

At 8 p.m. Saturday.





And at 9:15 p.m.:



The moon this evening is in waxing gibbous phase, 95 percent illumination. 
After checking online I'm pretty sure Jupiter is visible here above the moon in the southeast sky.
Please correct me if I'm wrong!

Recuperation journey: Late afternoon moon


The moon today (Wednesday) is in waxing gibbous phase, 69 percent illumination. 
When I took this photo it was 4:50 p.m. and still light out. I don't understand why the sky is black in the photo. Too technical for me!

Recuperation journey: Waxing gibbous moon

Took this about 45 minutes after posting previous moon photo. No power lines in sight this time!


Stay warm, local friends. It's rather brisk out there.

Recuperation journey: Looking at the early evening sky



Information from www.moongiant.com:


TODAY - FRIDAY, OCTOBER 19, 2018

The Moon today is in a Waxing Gibbous phase. This phase is when the moon is more than 50% illuminated but not yet a Full Moon. The phase lasts round 7 days with the moon becoming more illuminated each day until the Full Moon. During a Waxing Gibbous the moon will rise in the east in mid-afternoon and will be high in the eastern sky at sunset. The moon is then visible though most of the night sky setting a few hour before sunrise. The word Gibbous first appeared in the 14th century and has its roots in the Latin word "gibbosus" meaning humpbacked.
