Mercury and a Waning Crescent Moon Against the Colorful Twilight of Antalya


| | | | |

Captured one day before the New Moon and the last Partial Solar Eclipse of the year, against the colorful background in the morning twilight of Antalya, Turkey, the image reveals not only a smiling Waning Crescent Moon but also the rare view of planet Mercury, the Inner planet more close to the Sun and by that reason, very difficult to see and spot it. Look carefully to the end of the pier where is the last lounge roof. Did you find the orange bright dot?

PT: Captada um dia antes da Lua Nova e do último Eclipse Solar Parcial do ano, contra o colorido pano de fundo do crepúsculo matinal de Antalya, na Turquia, a imagem revela não apenas uma Lua Minguante sorridente, mas também a rara visão do planeta Mercúrio, o planeta interior mais próximo do Sol, e por esse motivo, muito difícil de ser visto e identificado. Olhe atentamente para o final do pontão, onde fica localizado o tecto do último lounge. Encontrou o ponto laranja brilhante?.
