NASA'S PICTURE FOR THIS DAY

“When the Moon Was Young” is copyrighted by Stefan Seip. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.

COSMIC MESSAGE

This slender crescent Moon was recorded at a tender age of 34 hours and 18 minutes on May 9th. The Moon's age is calculated from New Moon to New Moon, never exceeding about 29.5 days. A young Moon, though faint, can be a rewarding sight for skygazers, visible low in the western sky after sunset.
