2 pics of the Moon tonight. The second is way over-exposed but it does show there's a little loop sticking out at the upper left-hand side . This is the Golden Handle. Only visible for a few hours each month as sunlight shines on mountains and the crater floor inside the loop is in shadow.
![Moon 21:45 14 August 2024. Bit more than half phase. At upper left the sunlight is shining on Montes Jura [mountains] on the rim of Sinus Iridium [crater]. The floor of the crater is in shadow. The bright loop sticking out is called the Golden Handle.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:sdi6s5lbo62krrywbjcvl2bn/bafkreie6lqj6hket5yupqmst5df7tiofxknhwbg4mrrwxfz377nryqgnsq@jpeg)
