Description
Three Crescent Moons.
The moon shows a generally similar face any given two succeeding days. The detail however, changes drastically as the Terminator changes its position. The Terminator is the line that divides the day and night sides of the Moon. It is there where sunlight hits tangentially and reveals the orography of our satellite in full detail.
