   Explanation: Most of us watch the Moon at night. But the Moon spends
   nearly as many daylight hours above our horizon, though in bright
   daytime skies the lunar disk looks pale and can be a little harder to
   see. Of course in daytime skies the Moon also appears to cycle through
   its phases, shining by reflected sunlight as it orbits our fair planet.
   For daytime moonwatchers, the Moon is probably easier to spot when the
   visible sunlit portion of the lunar disk is large and waxing following
   first quarter or waning approaching its third quarter phase. And though
   it might look unusual, a daytime moon is often seen even in urban
   skies. Captured here in a telephoto snapshot taken on March 12, a
   waxing daytime Moon is aligned near the edge of a popular observation
   deck that overlooks New York City's borough of Manahattan.
