moon

A 'Gibbous Moon' was mentioned in a novel I recently read... I'd no idea what it meant, and didn't think it had anything to do with Gibbons is Space or camels.

 Luckily Google is my friend :~))



Origin of Gibbous :

1.	(of the moon or a planet) more than half but less than fully illuminated
2.	having a hunchback; hunchbacked
3.	bulging Or even a pop band >>>>>>>>>>>>> If you were born during a Waning Gibbous Moon: 'you'll have access to highly motivational energy. This the classic type of energy that propels people along as they face great adversity, because at their core they know they are doing it in service to all mankind' Scrabble value of  H4U1N1C3H4B3A1C3K5E1D2= 28 points :~)

A gibbous moon is one of the phases of the Moon, when the size of the illuminated portion is greater than half but not a full Moon.

The period between a first quarter moon and a full moon is known as a waxing gibbous moon, because the illuminated region of the Moon is increasing from day to day. After it becomes a full moon, but hasn’t reached the last quarter, the Moon is called a waning gibbous moon.
