I have copied images from an astronomical site. Make the decision yourself after seeing the images.
Image at the top represents the astronomical position as on October 23. It is claimed that 1% of moon is visible.
Image in the middle represents the astronomical
position as on October 24. It is claimed that 4% of moon is visible.
Image at the bottom represents the astronomical position as on October 25. It is claimed 9% of mon is 
visible.
I wonder my comments are going to the spam or what … coz I previously tried to comment 2-3 times and they all dispapeared …!
I am so sorry but don’t know what and why it happened though I have once experienced the same thing on another blog.
