      Summary Author:  Meiying Lee   
      This composite shows the  full moons I’ve captured over the past 6+   
      years from my home in Taiwan. Because  Mare Crisium is located on   
      the east side of the moon, its position can be used as a guide to the   
      moon’s location in the sky. Therefore, the moons pictured here are   
      arranged according to where the moon was in the sky on the night it was   
      photographed.   
      
      On the top row, Mare Crisium is the circular crater at the top of the   
      lunar disk. When it's in this position, the full moon rises in the   
      east. As the moon rises, the position of Mare Crisium shifts to the   
      right. When Mare Crisium is on the right side of the lunar surface, the   
      full moon is near the zenith –- around midnight. At this time of night,   
      the sky is near its darkest, and if the weather is clear, it’s easier   
      to detect the  iron-gray lunar surface.   
      
      As the moon sets, Mare Crisium is turned toward the lower right. A full   
      moon sets about the time that the Sun rises. The color of the dawn is   
      usually gray-blue or pink-gray, so the color of the full moon will be   
      close to the color of the sky, and details in the lunar surface are   
      more challenging to detect.   
      
      All photos were taken at the same  focal length. But you can observe   
      that the size of the moon may change significantly from one shot to the   
      next. This is of course related to the distance between the moon and   
      the Earth. Note that I also captured phases of a  total lunar   
      eclipse (rows 2 and 3) as well as a jet airliner (row 3) passing   
      overhead of my location.
