A gibbous Moon

We went to Watchtree last night to hear a talk about astronomy by the Border Astronomical Society http://www.astronomyclubs.co.uk/ Sadly Comet Ison has vanished but we did look at Jupiter and the Moon. The Moon didn't reach its zenith until mid-evening and 3/4 of it was lit up. It's called a gibbous Moon. The Moon is said to be waxing for the first half of the month when more and more of the surface is being lit up.
