(76/365) Gibbous moon

March 17, 2011 - Gibbous Moon

"There was a lot of mist around, but a few stars were visible overhead and
there was a gibbous moon in the sky. Tiffany knew it was gibbous because she'd read in the Almanack that 'gibbous' meant what the moon looked like when it was just a bit fatter than half full, and so she made a point of paying attention to it around those times just so that she could say to herself: 'Ah, I see the moon's very gibbous tonight'.
It's possible that this tells you more about Tiffany than she would want
you to know."

From "The Wee Free Men" by Terry Pratchett.
