Well, we are officially in the "waning gibbous" phase of the moon now. Here's another interesting tidbit: they think the moon is actually moving away from us at the rate of about 4cm a year. Not that you'd notice to look at it. Also interesting: the moon makes an orbit around the Earth every 29 1/2 days. Here I'd always thought that a lunar month was 28 days. Today's factoids are courtesy Space.com, which also has an article about the moon's bulge. Who knew the moon bulges? I'm off to read about it.Here's another Wunderground photographer that's doing moon pictures. His shot from last night it breath-taking!
