An Earth Science Picture of the Day (EPOD) features a year's worth of young moons. The youngest crescent is 22 hours old at 1 percent illumination. 

The pursuit of these photographs is described as well as some of the knowledge required to find them. Another quality the photographer possesses is patience.

 

The photographs were taken in Lahore, Pakistan.
