Waxing gibbous Moon
Waxing gibbous Moon. Image 13 of 27. Optical image of a waxing (increasing in apparent size) gibbous Moon 13 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 gibbous when it is more 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 gibbous Moon, captured 13 days into its 28-day cycle. The optical image reveals the gradual increase in size as the Moon moves closer to becoming full. As the Earth-facing side of the Moon transitions in and out of sunlight, it creates the enchanting lunar phases that have fascinated humanity for centuries. The gravitational influence of our planet keeps this Earth-facing side locked in place, resulting in a lunar day equal to the length of one orbit around Earth. In this particular phase, known as waxing gibbous, we witness the dawn on the Moon marked by a distinct line separating light from darkness. Taken in September 2001, this photograph is part of a sequence showcasing different stages throughout the monthly cycle of Moon phases. It serves as a reminder that our celestial companion follows cyclical patterns just like everything else in nature. As we gaze upon this stunning image, we are reminded not only of our connection to space but also how small yet significant we are within an expansive universe. This print captures both scientific wonder and artistic allure while inviting us to contemplate our place among these cosmic wonders.
