These pictures, at this angle, imply that the Earth regions under the moon were experiencing a solar eclipse, right? (Odd that the NASA article doesn't mention this.)
EDIT: There was no solar eclipse at the "last month" time-frame these pictures were taken. So that isn't a real earth-shadow under the leading edge of the moon, and as close as the moon seems to pass over the perspective-center of Earth, it must have actually been off somewhat, casting its shadow into space.
