Earthshine….

The light that is illuminating the “dark” part of the Moon here has travelled quite a long way!  From the Sun to the Earth, where it has reflected back to the Moon, where it has reflected back again to the Earth and Bizibilder has captured it in his camera!  This is a stack of 5 second exposures to show what is called “Earthshine”.  The “light” part of the Moon is therefore severely overexposed.
