    The Power of One

    Summary Author: Rick Stankiewicz

    I took advantage of clear skies near my home in Peterborough, Ontario
    (Canada) to view the one-day old Moon, on the evening of May 12,
    2021. Through the serendipitous nature of celestial mechanics, this
    twilight image captured the waxing, crescent Moon at just 1.3%
    illumination ( 1.1 days old). Note that there’s only a little more
    than 1 degree of angular separation between the Moon and brilliant
    Venus. Photo taken at 9:17 p.m. (local time).

    Photo details: Canon 60D camera; on tripod; Canon 18-200 mm lens; ISO
    800; f/5.6; 1/8 second exposure.
