3. mrozowski wrote: Okay, there's two. Two points to you Shanley! That was the only easy earth-like picture to grab. That's not the only impossibility though. |
4. mum23 wrote: If the moon were in that position relative to the Earth and the sun, it would be almost full, not crescent shaped. Was that it? :) |

6. mrozowski wrote: Katidid, you are correct. There could not be a star within the crescent of the moon. |
