gibbous?



“There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the moon howls.” - George Carlin (1937 - 2008)

Tonight the moon is waxing gibbous. My God, isn’t that poetic?

Our celestial dance partner will be more than 94 per cent full with waxing meaning “increasing in intensity” and gibbous meaning “more than half but less than fully illuminated; having a hump.”

If you are reading this tonight, stop what you are doing and go outside to look at it.
