Weeks ago I took this picture on one of the occasions when the moon is visible during the day.
Upon zooming, one can see the high level of detail that can be obtained with modern cameras, with not only maria but individual craters clearly visible in the picture.
We constantly hear in the media about supermoons, the phenomenon in which the moon appears slightly (though not, in my experience, noticeably) larger than normal. And sometimes we hear about the various seasonally-named full moons, like the Pink Moon. But we never hear about the daytime moon, which to me is much stranger.
When I see the moon suspended in the daytime sky, I feel as if I am on some alien planet where I don’t belong.
But then, I usually feel like that anyway.
