It was only 20th September 2017 when the moon Luna was at New moon in which the Earth Shadow totally veiling Luna’s lacy embroidery Wedding dress in which on a rural still night sky you can see the light grey new moon in a country side, rural sections of Auckland, New Zealand.. You can see and make out with her seeing her grey darkish outline shade of the moon..  As today on the 2nd October 2017 keyboarding at the moment it’s eighty seven percent in which the full moon sits on just in time for the Mid-Autumn festival around the Asian Communities in which happen to fall between the 3rd to 6th October 2017 in which 6th October is the FullMoon..in ready to be festive in Already Tomorrow In Hong Hong

As the new moon unveil as the terminator moves away from the moon, in which reveals slowly the crescent in which shows an interesting unique feature in which outlines the highlighted silhouettes around the circumference in which you can see the moon surface isn’t so smooth textured.. In which you can see the cratering mountainingly heights… Of how depths of the shadows in which as you watched the terminator transiting as the Earth Shadow  you’ll see more of the Luna surface also some interesting shadows casted  alongside its indention from getting from longer to shorter.. As the moon become more full the craters shadows become least apparent… In which sort of hides away the interesting crevices crater embroidery lacy features of how the deep it is…
