Clear Skies, and Moon-shine

It's a moony night tonight, and I've been lucky enough to have clear skies.

Unfortunately, light pollution in my neighborhod has rendered me incapable of making out all but a few stars, so I am looking deeply into a field of velvety darkness and contemplating the beauty of the moon.

Over the past few nights, I've watched the progression of the phases of the moon from a crescent to the waxing half moon that was visible tonight, and I must say that it merits more appreciation than people normally give it.

I didn't happen to snap a picture, but feel free to take one of your own.

Enjoy your night, and look forward to upcoming phenomenal events taking place in the skies above!
