When the crescent moon is just a sliver each month, the phrase “old moon in the young moon’s arms“ poetically describes a marvel of nature. This marvel shows the shadow of the Earth reflecting back the largely blue light from the Earth, known as earthshine. I noticed this effect and so took a shot at an exposure that would show it, where highlights would out of necessity be blown out. An the. Of course I artistically enhanced the image to my taste.

I marvel how the ancient Romans, (Aristarchus and Seleucus), already understood heliocentricity!
