Press release from St. Louis Science Center: August 14, 2021 Tomorrow is first quarter moon which means tonight we will see a waxing crescent phase with 48.3% of the lunar disk illuminated. The landing site of Apollo 15 is straddling the terminator tonight at 8:30 p.m. By 4 am, the terminator will have shifted away from the Apollo 15 site, but this location will still be lost in shadows of the mountains to the east. This press release was produced by St. Louis Science Center. The views expressed here are the author's own.
