This is a photo of a very old moon (only 20 hours before new)
rising from the ancient temple of Parthenon of Athens, Greece (5th century B.C.). It was very dim because it had an
elongation from the sun of only 9.5° (it was close to apogee) and the
illumination was just 0.64%. I didn’t even see it through the
camera and i just followed my predictions. 12 August 2007, 03:00 UT.
