Reflecting
sunlight ignites the moon's limb into a fiery crescent in this image taken by
an amateur skywatcher.
Philippe Moussette of Quebec, Canada recorded this view of Earth's
moon on April 9, 2005 at the Observatory of Decouverte
Val-Belair.
He used a 20D
Canon digital camera mounted to a Meade LX200 telescope to record this 30-second
exposure.
