Waxing Crescent Moon.

At 6 -10pm, Cambridge, altitude 24.3 degrees, distance from Earth 402090 km. Folklore says that the first time in the month you see a crescent moon, you should take all your coins out of your pocket and put them in the other one to ensure good luck for the month. I've seen my dad do this, just to show us children, but I don't think it would apply these days as people pay with cards. My mother often had to put new pockets in trousers where coins and keys had worn them out.
