(Catching the Light)
Explanation:
Still waters mimic a predawn sky along the eastern horizon
in this peaceful scene.
The picture was
recorded on May 22nd from the banks of the
Mullica River, in a forested region known as
the Pine Barrens
of southern New Jersey on the US east coast.
Near the horizon at the left is an old
Moon with its narrow, sunlit crescent.
Mars is near picture center and brilliant
Venus shines farther right.
Like the terrestrial lights along the riverbank, the bright celestial
beacons are all reflected in the watery
foreground.
Of course, most of the Moon is illuminated
by
Earthshine,
light reflected from the
sunlit side
of planet Earth itself,
revealing features on the darkened lunar surface.
