EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting beauty of a crescent moon, showcasing an extraordinary phenomenon known as earthshine. Taken on June 29,1987, using a 4-inch f/10 refractor telescope, this image unveils the intricate details of our lunar companion in all its glory. Close to the new moon phase, earthshine becomes visible as sunlight reflects off our planet and illuminates the dark side of the moon. This ethereal glow creates a mesmerizing contrast against the night sky, allowing us to witness the complete lunar disc – "the old moon in the new moons arms". The significance of this celestial spectacle extends beyond its sheer visual splendor. It serves as a reminder of our profound connection with space and highlights how different elements interact within our cosmic neighborhood. With roots deeply embedded in science and astronomy, this photograph not only showcases nature's wonders but also provides invaluable insights into planetary studies and cosmology. As we gaze upon this remarkable image from Science Photo Library, we are reminded that there is much more to explore beyond Earth's boundaries. It invites us to delve deeper into infrared astronomy and unravel further mysteries hidden within distant galaxies.
