Wet moon
A Wet moon (also called a Cheshire moon and in some cases a Dry moon) is a lunar phase when the "horns" of the crescent moon point up at an angle, away from the horizon. This is caused when the crescent of the moon, during its orbit around the Earth, displays the result of that orbit as well as that of Earth's orbit around the Sun.
