Wednesday, September 5

This picture of Wednesday's (September 5) moon was taken at 5:45 AM Thursday morning from Snoozy's UAB parking lot. The moon did not rise until 10:00 PM Wednesday and it will not set until 12:04 PM Thursday. The meridian passing time for Wednesday's moon was at 4:11 AM Thursday morning. With the moon not rising until the late hours of the night it is impossible to see the moon until early the next day. The moon appeared significant smaller at 78.4% visibility than it has looked all week, even if it is hard to tell from the photograph. Clear skies this morning made it easier to take a picture of the moon with my iPhone.
