Mystical Night Sky Background with full moon, Clouds | Beautiful View | Full Moon | Clouds

The moon came to the sky as a mother comes to sing a soft lullaby, to ease her children into a star-filled night.
The moon graced the sky as if she'd had some bright idea, something brilliant needed to shine upon the Earth.
Our Moon often gets an unfair amount of credit for its luminous properties, considering it acts solely as a pretty average reflector of sunlight.
Earth for instance, all watery and cloudy, reflects sunlight about three times better than the Moon does. You can actually see earthshine being reflected onto the Moon’s surface, and back at us!
Nearly everything we can touch and see is an indirect effect of the Sun being what it is though, so it is a bit trite to diminish the Moon or anything else for being ‘only’ in the Sun’s supporting cast. The Moon certainly is a lot more pleasant to look at, and undoubtedly it has just as important a role in our biological evolution. Not to mention being at the center-point of so much romance
This morning, the sky was clear and the Moon was free to ‘shine’ - cough reflect - the semicircle of sunlight that fell on it from my viewing angle.
I actually flipped the image horizontally because of aesthetics, which means this would be the viewing angle of someone drifting in the ocean south-east of New Zealand, but that’s not very important.
Because the Earth really is round, and so is the Moon and so is the path they both trace around the Sun, these lunar phases are usually more complex in shape than this particular one called ‘First Quarter’.
If you additionally consider their elliptical orbits and shapes, small movements of the Earth, weird things that light does at angles, relativity, …, then things can get very complex. Even things like the lunar phases are not trivial.
