It’s actually a decent-sized moon, but when it’s 250,000 miles away (give or take) and you’re using a wide-angle lens, it can appear to be quite tiny.
See it? Up there in all of the cloud layers (rain moving in for tomorrow and Thursday) and contrails?
Zoom in far enough and you can see that it’s a bit short of being a half-illuminated moon, but well beyond the crescent phase.
I still dream that some day, some how, I get a chance to go there. It could happen!
