🌕 We see 59% of the Moon’s surface from Earth! 🌖🌗🌔

Tidal lock keeps one side facing us, but a gentle “wobble” called libration lets us glimpse a bit more. Even the Moon has her secrets. 🌙

Good Morning from the Denton Observatory

It’s so sad that just the slightest difference in light pollution keeps people from marveling at the cosmos.

This morning at our temporary extended stay, I could barely see Orion.

At our home at 4:45 AM (≈8 miles) & crystal clear.
