‘Moon Phases Simplified I would have been fairly simple in my understanding. A half-moon is a semi-circle with one straight line down the middle of a circle. A crescent would have the outer part of the circle but the inner part would also be curved - not a straight line like a semi-circle. A crescent would be as the Pakistani flag. Those responsible for translating the streetsigns in Cork appear to believe that there is no difference between a Crescent and a Half-Moon. |
