Today's Waning Gibbous Phase of the moon. The Waning Gibbous on January 7 has an illumination of 100%. This is the percentage of the Moon illuminated by the Sun. The illumination is constantly changing and can vary up to 10% a day. On January 7 the Moon is 15.25 days old. This refers to how many days it has been since the last New Moon. It takes 29.53 days for the Moon to orbit the Earth and go through the lunar cycle of all 8 Moon phases. #moon #astronomy #moonphotography #luna #lunaphotography #astrophotography #laluna #nikonp1000 #blogto #toronto #torontosky #canada #astro_photography_ #seaoftranquility #seaofserenity #moonlight #moonphases #supermoon #moonlovers #moonwatch #mooncraters #tycho #copernicus #apollocrater #aristoteles #aristarchus #astrophotography #moonphoto #Aquarius #waninggibbous
“SPACEMEN HONORED -- Astronomers attending the triennial assembly of the International Astronomical Union in Brighton, England named lunar craters after 513 persons. This photograph, taken by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Lunar Orbiter V, shows craters honoring Apollo 8 astronauts Frank Borman, James A. Lovell, Jr., and William Anders; astronauts Virgil I. Grissom, Roger B. Chaffee, and Edward H. White, killed in the Apollo fire, and Dr. Hugh Dryden, Deputy Administrator and leading NASA scientist, who died in 1965. Other American and Russian cosmonauts were similarly honored.”
