Tonight around 6:35 p.m. I spotted the moon after class ... the sky was full of clouds and there was truly a hole in the clouds where I watched to moon come in and out of sight as clouds drifted by. The hole in the clouds did not appear to move as if they were the frame of the moon! As I was taking pictures, I was able to capture a couple with the moon in sight. It was brightly shining and looked about 75% visible in its waxing gibbous phase.

You can barely see the moon behind some drifting clouds!

My favorite picture of the bright moon through the hole in the clouds!

You can barely see the moon here

You can see how bright the moon is shining as it peeps through the hole in the clouds!
