And it was a waxing crescent.

对了，昨天是逐渐变大的新月。

You can try catching the whisker-thin waxing crescent moon and the planet Mercury after sunset this evening.

日落之后你可以看到一轮新月与水星。

Explanation: A waxing crescent Moon shines over the caldera of dormant volcano Haleakala and observatory domes in this dramatic view from above the clouds.

说明：这幅在云层上方拍摄的动人影像里，下弦月高悬在休眠中的哈雷阿卡拉火山口及天文台圆顶上空。
