Waxing gibbous.


I open the internet to find this on my Google reader. The moon phase today is "Waxing gibbous."

What?! Isn't that a Harry Potter Spell or possibly the scientific name of the anteater? Who decided to call the moon phase this silly name?

Well, besides giving me a good morning laugh this now known moon fact has given me two goals for the day.

  1. To inform everyone I come into contact with that the moon phase tonight is waxing gibbous.
  2. To look at the moon tonight and decide if the moon is in fact waxing gibbous.
