It’s nearly time for my monthly naked-eye New Moon spotting challenge, which becomes relatively easy for observers north of the tropics now that we’re near the time of the vernal equinox. Most North Americans should be able to spot the Moon aged little more than a day on March 31.

My more detailed article describing the waxing crescent Moon’s first appearance of the coming lunar month appears under the links for my preview graphics at www.CurtRenz.com/moon

Photos and descriptions of the young Moon would be welcome additions to this thread. Please include your location, date and time with zone.

Below is a photo that I shot from Arlington Heights, Illinois of the Moon aged 21:47 hr on 2007 MAR 19 at 19:30 CDT. A personal record.

Thank you.  Did you read the caption above the picture which provides that information?
