The waxing moon on the night of Nov. 4, 2022. This is minimalism and it is very simple of course, but I was surprised by the image and the detail of the craters. Also clearly visible are the dark lunar seas, the mars, which, by the way, occur only on this side of moon. Because the moon rotates as fast around the earth as it does around its own axis, we only see about half of the moon. Because of the libration (horizontal and vertical oscillation), we see as much as 59% and sometimes parts become visible that we would not actually be able to see.
And to think that people have been walking around there, and probably soon will again. I took the picture with a new 800 mm lens.
