Happy New Year
Hi,
My name is Susie and have just registered. I love astronomy and studied this topic a few years ago now. During my studies of the moon, a particular terminology has eluded me and wondering if anyone out there could help me.
My question is: What is the name given to the effect of the moon's edge when not a full moon? The view through a telescope provides such a fine detail of the craters and the curvature (spelling). I do remember from my studies that there was a particluar name for it. Thankyou in advance.
My friend has just recently obtained a dobsonian mounted telescope. We had a fantastic night on New Years Eve observing the moon.
I look forward to discussing topics of astronomy.
Seeya,
Susie
