Crescent Moon over The Lions, Canada
Waxing crescent Moon above The Lions, twin peaks in the North Shore Mountains, north of Vancouver, Canada. At this stage the Moon is halfway between a new Moon and the first quarter (half Moon). The phases of the moon (new Moon, first quarter, full Moon and then back to new Moon) are due to its orbit around the Earth. Each cycle takes around 28 days

EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking print captures the serene beauty of a waxing crescent Moon gracefully hanging above The Lions, twin peaks nestled in the North Shore Mountains of Canada. As the Moon reaches this stage, it finds itself perfectly positioned between a new Moon and the first quarter, symbolizing its cyclical journey around our Earth. This mesmerizing lunar phase showcases nature's celestial dance that occurs every 28 days. The image portrays a picturesque scene where the snowy mountain range meets the vast expanse of blue sky. The Canadian landscape adds an enchanting touch to this astronomical spectacle, making it truly unique to North America. Located north of Vancouver in British Columbia, these majestic peaks known as The Lions or Twin Sisters serve as a magnificent backdrop for this lunar crescent. Science Photo Library has masterfully captured this momentous occasion, allowing us to marvel at both the grandeur of nature and the wonders of astronomy. This photograph not only provides an awe-inspiring visual experience but also serves as a reminder of our place within the larger cosmic order. As we gaze upon this stunning print, we are reminded that just like the Moon's cycles, life too follows its own rhythm and pattern. Let us find solace in knowing that change is inevitable and embrace each phase with grace and wonderment.
