The New Moon in the Old Moon's Arms

COSMIC MESSAGE

Earthshine, also known as the Moon's ashen glow, is Earthlight illuminating the Moon's night side. This telescopic image, taken on the March 20 equinox from Esfahan, Iran, captures strong Earthshine from an old Moon. The darker, earthlit disk is cradled by a bright, sunlit crescent.
