Object info
Earthshine is sunlight which is reflected by the Earth and illuminates the Moon's night side. Earthshine is most easily observed when the Moon is new (as viewed from Earth).
Earthshine can be caught photographically by using a somewhat longer exposure time to reveal the shadow side, this however always burns out the light part of the Moon.
