“Moon Near the Edge” is copyrighted by Jordi Coy. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThe Moon is often seen at night, but it spends nearly as much time in our daytime skies. In bright daylight, the lunar disk appears paler and can be harder to spot. It still cycles through its phases, reflecting sunlight as it orbits Earth, and is easiest to see when a large portion is illuminated.
