on poses behind the craggy outline of the Italian Dolomites in this twilight mou
ntain and skyscape. The one second long exposure was captured near moonset on Ma
rch 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 Ea
rth illuminates the lunar nearside. Also known as the Moon's ashen glow, a descr
iption of earthshine in terms of sunlight reflected by Earth's oceans illuminati
ng 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."
