Lovely! The inversion layers are especially dramatic.

I agree but I also love the name of the moon, "Old Moon in the New Moon's arms'. Seriously poetic :)

I've never heard of this phenomenon. That really is stunning. :)

It is! Glad I could show you something new. Did you click the link 'layers appear'? Maybe even more stunning :)

I just did - oh wow! :)

OMG, how amazing and funny! I wrote a metaphorical B/J fic back in 2008, "Earthshine," based on the phenomenon: https://kinfic2.livejournal.com/8094.html
