Moon+PERLing

The moon at that time was a crescent, but because the light was on one edge, the shades could be shown and so i would say its as if there is a place where there is no light, but there is still very little contract. The moon was very close to the horizon, and so something i think should be observing is its state at a certain position. The contrast continues to increase as the half moon forms, but nonetheless the brightness also increased at the light side. It is now a half moon. The moon now is farther and farther from the horizon. The moon is at it's gibbous state now, it has gotten dimmer all together, but this could greatly be because of how cloudy the nights were. Nonetheless it was very bright at the light side where it has been waxing earlier. A full moon right above in the sky making a 90 degree angle with the surface of the earth, a very bright moon. it is bright enough that the glow can be seen around it. The moon begins to wane and gets dimmer and dimmer. it also begins to move east rapidly. No sight of the moon as it must have moved east.

Typical mooncakes are round or rectangular pastries, measuring about 10 cm in diameter and 4-5 cm thick. A thick filling usually made from lotus seed paste is surrounded by a relatively thin (2-3 mm) crust and may contain yolks from salted duck eggs. Mooncakes are rich, heavy, and dense compared with most Western cakes and pastries. They are usually eaten in small wedges accompanied by Chinese tea. Moon cakes are usually shared by neighbors and friends as a sign of caring in the presence of the brightly lit moon.
