The Da Vinci Glow
apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/2504/…
A 26 hour old Moon poses behind the craggy outline of the Italian Dolomites in this twilight mountain and skyscape. The one second long exposure was captured near moonset on March 30. And while only a a sliver of its sunlit surface is visible, most of the Moon's disk can be seen by earthshine as light reflected from a bright planet Earth illuminates the lunar nearside. Also known as the Moon's ashen glow, a description of earthshine in terms of sunlight reflected by Earth's oceans illuminating the Moon's dark surface was written over 500 years ago by Leonardo da Vinci. Of course earthshine is just the most familiar example of planetshine, the faint illumination of the dark portion of a moon by light reflected from its planet.

Als Antwort auf Josh Universe • • •The image depicts a close-up view of a textured surface, likely from a celestial body such as Mars. The surface is predominantly a uniform sandy brown color, with various shades indicating different elevations and textures. The surface features numerous small craters and pits, with some areas appearing smoother and others more rugged. The overall appearance is rough and uneven, with a circular frame highlighting the detailed texture. The background is black, emphasizing the surface's features.
