Waning Crescent Moon

Waning Crescent Moon
The Moon is a small gray circle with less than half of it visible. Below it, Earth's atmosphere is a brilliant blue haze making a diagonal line across the image.

NASA astronaut Bob Hines took this picture of the waning crescent moon on May 8, 2022, as the International Space Station flew into an orbital sunrise 260 miles above the Atlantic Ocean off the northwest coast of the United States. Since the station became operational in November 2000, crew members have produced hundreds of thousands of images of our Moon and Earth through Crew Earth Observations.
