Light from Earth Reflecting on the Moon

One day past New, an early Waxing Crescent Moon is seen just after sunset, Wednesday, Jan. 9, 2008 from Tyler, Texas. The 'nightside' of the Moon is seen lit by light reflected from the day time side of the Earth and is known as 'Earthshine'. (AP Photo/Dr. Scott M. Lieberman)
