The moon caught my eye tonight as I drove home from a band rehearsal. Today is the first day after the new moon and the tiny crescent around the lower edge didn’t entirely hide the fine halo around the rest. It looked almost like some kind of eclipse event… or one of the iconic views of the Star Wars Death Star!

It was too hard to photograph though. I tried on my iPad, having walked some distance down the street to catch it between a couple of houses, but the street lights were too bright and the moon was too small. Never mind. At least I saw it and enjoyed it for the moment.
