Today I wanted to see a croissant.... QUASO 🥐⁣ ⁣ This is an ode to our cosmic companion, the Moon, who enters a new moon phase on May 18 where it rises and sets with the Sun, appearing invisible in our sky. Our Moon, like all of the largest moons in our solar system, is tidally locked – meaning the same side always faces its planet.⁣ ⁣ The Moon is the brightest and largest object in our night sky, and when it enters a new moon phase, skywatchers can see more stars than usual, and even sometimes our own Milky Way galaxy.⁣ ⁣ Image description: A slim waxing crescent moon over Earth’s horizon is seen from the ISS. Earth shines bright appearing white and light blue, the atmosphere gleams in shades of blue that fade into space, where a white sliver of the Moon cuts through the blackness of the solar system.⁣ ⁣ Credit: NASA⁣ ⁣ #Space #NASA #ISS #Moon #NewMoon #SolarSystem #Phase #croissant #QUASO
