Description

On the night of June 10, 2010, we captured several different images of the waxing gibbous Moon to put together this 5-panel mosaic. The moon was 9.54 days old and 72.2% illuminated. Many craters and mountains, some mare, and a valley can be seen in this mosaic. North is to the right in this image.
