Surprised by the appearance of the Moon in this shot, from the GOES coronagraph observing the Solar corona (and blocking out the Sun). It is possible to observe the new moon because it is no longer in the glare of the Sun!

Sun is heading back North! Left side shows sunset on Dec. 21 and right side is on Jan. 21. The phone orientation changes slightly between pics, which accounts for the slight mismatch. Looking forward to more daylight and warmer days.
