[QUOTE="Polyphemos, post: 604802, member: 6335"] The waxing crescent moon was in the Pleiades tonight, and it made for a beautiful sight. A bright crescent moon next to a field of bright bluish stars. For those of us who are still learning, a waxing crescent moon is a moon that is increasing (waxing) it’s illuminated surface and that is less than half full (crescent). In contrast, a waning gibbous moon would be a moon that is decreasing (waning) it’s illuminated surface and that is more than half full (gibbous). The Pleiades are among the brightest and most beautiful of the naked eye open clusters visible in the northern hemisphere, and represents the seven sisters who were the daughters of the Titan Atlas and the oceanic nymph, Pleione. Together they looked a bit like this through the scope: [ATTACH type="full"]16566[/ATTACH] Ten years aged Samuel Gawith Full Virginia Flake in a Missouri Meerschaum Shenandoah cob pipe made it that much better.
