  • The half moon is visible over the summit of Mount Rainier, which pokes out from a thick cloud bank in Washington state. Mount Rainier, with an elevation of 14,411 feet (4,392 meters), is the tallest mountain in Washington and the highest volcano in the Cascade Range.

  • Slightly more than half the moon is illuminated in this view of the night sky. Half moons are typically called quarters - first quarter and last quarter - and coincide with neap tides, the mildest tidal changes of the month. During neap tides, the difference between high tide and low tide is the least. The sun and moon are at right angles to Earth, weakening their combined gravitational pull.

  • A half moon, technically known as the first quarter moon, rises in the sky above Half Dome in Yosemite National Park, California. Half Dome, 8836 feet (2693 meters) tall, is a granite dome that seems to be missing a large section. While named Half Dome, the missing piece is likely a quarter, rather than half. Scientists also believe the missing granite also eroded away as fast as it was exposed, rather than falling off in a dramatic event.

  • The half moon prepares to set behind Cutthroat Pass located in the North Cascades of Washington state. The pass is named for Cutthroat Peak, the 8050 foot (2454 meter) peak visible in the right half of this image.

  • Golden Larch trees (Pseudolarix amabilis) at the peak of their fall color frame Whistler Mountain (left) and Cutthroat Peak in the North Cascades of Washington state. The half moon begins to set behind Cutthroat Pass. Golden Larches, while not considered true larches, are known for shedding their needles each fall. The needles grow back each spring and transition from deep green to blue green over the course of the summer. In late September or early October, the needles turn golden and drop, just like the leaves on deciduous trees.

  • The full moon shines above St. Mary Lake, the second largest lake in Glacier National Park, Montana, about a half hour before sunrise. The glint of the full moon falls next to Wild Goose Island.
