      Explanation: Most of us watch the Moon at night. But the Moon spends   
      nearly as many daylight hours above our horizon, though in bright   
      daytime skies the lunar disk looks pale and can be a little harder to   
      see. Of course in daytime skies the Moon also appears to cycle through   
      its phases, shining by reflected sunlight as it orbits our fair planet.   
      For daytime moonwatchers, the Moon is probably easier to spot when the   
      visible sunlit portion of the lunar disk is large and waxing following   
      first quarter or waning approaching its third quarter phase. And though   
      it might look unusual, a daytime moon is often seen even in urban   
      skies. Captured here in a telephoto snapshot taken on March 12, a   
      waxing daytime Moon is aligned near the edge of a popular observation   
      deck that overlooks New York City's borough of Manahattan.
