Moon 26th May 2018

And this is what the moon itself looked like last night.

There's a program on the BBC at the moment about 'The Last Man on the Moon'.

He was Apollo 17 astronaut Gene Cernan, the eleventh and last man on the Moon to date, stepping off the Taurus-Littrow valley on December 14th 1972.

If you were born on December 15th 1972 you would be 45 years old and no one would have been on the moon in your lifetime!

Time 22:20.
Distance 242,644 miles.
Waxing gibbous phase.
170 degrees S compass point (azimuth).
Altitude 27.7 degrees.
