The fleeting formations of light and shadow called the Lunar X (below centre on the terminator) and the Lunar V (above centre) on the 6-day-old Moon, on March 1 2020. For a few hours during the 6-day-old waxing Moon the sunlight illuminates the rims of particular craters to give the impression of an X and a V on the boundary between light and dark where the Sun is rising. The X is formed by the confluence of the rims of craters Blanchinus, La Caille, and Purbach, while the Lunar V is formed by morning light illuminating the rim of Ukert crater.
