The glow of the last year's last full (and blue) moon hazily illuminates this canvas from ±235,000 miles distant, ironically as a sort of negative silhouette eclipsed by a dormant light standard. Where it not for having been taken at 1:20 a.m., this image might easily be interpreted as a solar eclipse, rather than the pseudo-lunar species presented here.
Note the faint coronal ring, formed by the mist-laden evening atmosphere.
