Earthshine

Out last night, and the sky was remarkable as the temperature dropped. There was the added attraction of the planets either side of the crescent moon, which could be seen very clearly in my village, which is a long way from the nearest town and has very few street lights.
Peter Gibbs and Tristan Gooley explained some of the science behind the phenomenon.

And that reminded me of this Rush song 'Earthshine'
