Description

A waxing gibbous moon as observed from New Zealand (Southern Hemisphere) on November 17, 2010. Photograph taken 94 minutes after sunset.

On the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_terminator" rel="nofollow">lunar terminator</a>, the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gassendi_crater" rel="nofollow">Gassendi</a> crater is visible with its central peak and a crater rim that rises 2.5km above the surface of the moon. The Gassendi crater was a possible landing site candidate for the cancelled Apollo 18 moon mission.
