6-Day Moon with lunar X and V

---

6-day old Moon with the lunar X and lunar V formations just visible late in their apparition at this lunation, as the peaks and ridges that make up the apparent formations, and the area around them, were beginning to light up fully, so the effect was being lost. The X and V (the latter just above centre) were more obvious a few hours earlier. Taken March 20, 2021 from Alberta, Canada.
