Optical image of a waxing crescent Moon

Waxing crescent Moon. Image 2 of 27. Optical image of a waxing (increasing in apparent size) crescent Moon 2 days into its 28-day cycle. The lunar phases arise as the Moons orbit of the Earth shows the Earth-facing side moving into and out of the light of the Sun. This Earth-facing side of the Moon is locked in place by the gravitational influence of the Earth. This results in a lunar day that equals the length of the lunar Earth orbit. On a waxing Moon the day-night line (terminator) marks the lunar dawn. The Moon is crescent when it is less than half full. Taken in September 2001. A sequence of the monthly cycle of Moon phases is shown on images R340/644-670.

EDITORS COMMENTS

This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of a waxing crescent Moon, captured during its 28-day cycle. The optical image reveals the Moon two days into its journey, as it gradually increases in apparent size. As the Earth-facing side of the Moon moves in and out of the Sun's light due to its orbit around our planet, we witness the enchanting lunar phases. The gravitational influence exerted by Earth keeps this particular side of the Moon locked in place, resulting in a lunar day that matches the length of our own Earth orbit. In this stunning depiction, we can observe how on a waxing Moon, a distinct line known as the terminator marks lunar dawn – where night transitions into day. The crescent shape signifies that at this stage, less than half of the Moon is illuminated by sunlight. This breathtaking image was taken back in September 2001 and forms part of an extensive sequence showcasing various stages throughout the monthly cycle of Moon phases. Immerse yourself in this extraordinary celestial sight and delve into realms beyond our earthly existence with this remarkable photograph from Science Photo Library's collection.
