Hi!
I looked up on the sky today while arriving home from work.
There was the moon but only exactly half of it was being visible.
With exactly half I mean, with regard to my poor english, that it was like a folded circular disc.
Seeing a "new-moon" like we call it here in Sweden, the moon look more like the moon on the turkish flag meaning that it is curved like the curvature of Earth actually is blocking the sun's rays.
But how can it be exactly half?
Shouldn't the curvature of Earth always make the moon curved, so to speak?
