My illustrations depicts the appearance of the moon at 6:00 AM Saturday (9/8/12) morning. In order to see the moon I had to walk about fifty feet in front of my house early Sunday morning. The moon did not rise until after 11:20 PM Saturday night. It appears as if the moon is "shrinking," the illuminated portion of the moon is growing smaller and smaller. This morning the moon was around 60% visible.
