TUESDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1875

On this day the Moon was in a Waxing Gibbous phase. This phase is when the moon is more than 50% illuminated
but not yet a Full Moon. The phase lasts round 7 days with the moon becoming more illuminated each day until the
Full Moon. During a Waxing Gibbous the moon will rise in the east in mid-afternoon and will be high in the eastern
sky at sunset. The moon is then visible though most of the night sky setting a few hour before sunrise. The word
Gibbous first appeared in the 14th century and has its roots in the Latin word "gibbosus" meaning humpbacked.
