  "account": "On August 30, the Moon will be in the Waning Gibbous phase, with 95% of its surface visible to the naked eye. This means that you should be able to see prominent features such as Mare Serenitatis, Copernicus Crater, and Oceanus Procellarum without any viewing equipment. However, if you have binoculars or a telescope, you can spot additional landmarks like Mare Frigoris, Archimedes Crater, Apennine Mountains, Apollo 15 and 16 landing spots, and Rima Ariadaeus. The next Full Moon is expected to occur on September 26.",
