Leap Moon!
A Moon on 29th February, which only happens every 4 years! But unfortunately, there are virtually no lunar missions connected to Leap Year's Day (29th February).
The closest mission is Luna 20, which left the Moon on 22nd February, 1972.
And the closest astronaut is Jack Lousma, who was born on Leap Year's Day 1936, but never went on any lunar missions, as he was involved in Skylab and Space Shuttle.
We have to wait until 2024 to see if there will be a lunar mission on a 29th February!
Time 17:13.
Distance 249,368 miles.
Waxing crescent phase.
195 degrees S compass point (azimuth).
Altitude 49.3 degrees.
