Da Vinci Rise

Explanation: An old Moon rose this morning, its waning sunlit crescent shining just above the eastern horizon before sunrise. But earthshine, light reflected from a bright planet Earth, lit the shadowed portion of the lunar disk and revealed most of a familiar lunar near side to early morning risers. In fact, a description of earthshine in terms of sunlight reflected by Earth\'s oceans illuminating the Moon\'s dark surface was written over 500 years ago by Leonardo da Vinci. One lunation ago this old Moon also rose above the eastern horizon. Its sunlit crescent and da Vinci glow were captured in stacked exposures from the Badain Jilin Desert of Inner Mongolia, China on August 29, 2019. This year marks the 500th anniversary of Leondardo da Vinci\'s death.

地照光下的月出

早晨，下弦月冉冉升起，这轮受到太阳照射的残月在日出之前的东方地平线上空闪耀着。然而，明亮的地球反射的阳光形成的地照光照亮了月面的阴影部分，向早起的人们呈现出大部分熟悉的月球近侧。在500多年前，达·芬奇就曾描述过阳光被地球海洋反射形成的地照光，照亮了月球黑暗表面的过程。一个阴历月前，这轮下弦月从东方地平线上冉冉升起。这幅呈现受到阳光照射的新月和地照光的图像是在2019年8月29日拍摄于中国内蒙古巴丹吉林沙漠。今年是达    ·芬奇逝世500周年。
