EARTHSHINE - When the moon seen from Earth is a thin crescent, Earth viewed from the moon is almost fully lit. The dark side of the moon is dimly illuminated by sunlight reflected from Earth, called earthshine, which is bright enough to be easily visible from Earth. This is sometimes referred to as the "old moon in the new moon's arms." (Source: Wikipedia)

Nice as well as informative. In the 70s we lived in Buzz Aldrin's neighborhood; my kids went to the school he attended..

I've never heard that before, but I love that phrase "the old moon in the new moon's arms." Thanks for sharing! Happy Thanksgiving!!!
