Description

I took this using my iPhone mainly out of frustration, when I was unable to locate Comet 2019/Y4 (ATLAS) in the bright sky. However, I'm always fascinated by the complex structure and detail that can be seen, which I have enhanced, I hope aesthetically - you can see the moon in its true mineral glory using the Virtual Moon Atlas https://www.ap-i.net/avl/en/start.

Nevertheless, I'm looking forward to the waning gibbous moon next week , so I can locate Comet 2019/Y4, which is brightening by the day, and hopefully before it blows itself to bits!
