Explanation:
Posing near
the western horizon, a brilliant
evening
star and
slender young crescent shared reflections in a calm sea last
Thursday after sunset.
Recorded in this snapshot from the Atlantic beach at Santa Marinella
near Rome, Italy, the lovely celestial conjunction of the
two brightest beacons in the night sky could be
enjoyed
around the world.
Seaside, light reflected by briefly horizontal surfaces of
the gentle waves forms the shimmering columns across the water.
Similar reflections by fluttering atmospheric ice crystals can
create sometimes
mysterious
pillars
of light.
Of course, earthlight itself visibly illuminates the faint
lunar night side.
