Colorful Scenes Before and After the New Moon Reveals a Lunar Earthshine at Dawn and Dusk
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 in the eastern sky. Looking carefully to the end of the pier where is the last lounge roof, we can find the orange bright dot. Now on the right image, captured with the same 200mm lens and almost from the same location on a pier in the beach, reveals the scene while looking to the opposite direction of the sky, this time facing to west just two days after the new moon and 30 minutes after the sunset. The Earthshine is again visible, but the smile has slightly changed due to the Moon position regarding the Sun. Described and drawn for the first time by Leonardo Da Vinci about 500 years ago on his book Codex Leicester, Leonardo da Vinci explained the phenomenon known as Earthshine in the early 16th century, when he realised that both Earth and the Moon reflect sunlight at the same time. Light is reflected from the Earth to the Moon and back to the Earth as earthshine.The image shows a sequence of shots in time lapse mode, while the Moon Earthshine of last October was setting above Bey mountains and close to Mediterranean Sea.
PT: Captada um dia antes da Lua Nova e do último Eclipse Solar Parcial do ano, contra o fundo colorido 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 isso, muito difícil de ver e localizar no céu oriental. Olhando atentamente para o final do cais onde fica o último telhado da zona lounge, podemos encontrar um ponto laranja brilhante. Já na imagem à direita, captada com a mesma lente de 200mm e quase do mesmo local do pontão na praia, revela o cenário na direção oposta do céu, desta vez voltado para oeste apenas dois dias após a lua nova e 30 minutos após o pôr do sol. O Earthshine é novamente visível, mas o sorriso mudou ligeiramente devido à posição da Lua em relação ao Sol. Descrito e desenhado pela primeira vez por Leonardo Da Vinci há cerca de 500 anos em seu livro Codex Leicester, Leonardo da Vinci explicou o fenómeno conhecido como Earthshine no início do século XVI, quando percebeu que tanto a Terra quanto a Lua refletem a luz solar ao mesmo tempo. A luz é refletida da Terra para a Lua e de volta para a Terra como Earthshine. A imagem mostra ainda uma sequência fotográfica em modo time lapse, enquanto o Earthshine lunar de Outubro se deitava acima das montanhas Bey e perto do Mar Mediterrâneo.

Sequence of a Lunar Earthshine as Seen above Bey Mountains in Turkey
Two to three days after the new moon, is the ideal time to enjoy the Earthshine phenomenon (meaning the light is reflected from the Earth to the Moon, and back to the Earth again as earthshine), for being totally visible with the naked eye 30 minutes after the sunset, and not faraway from the western horizon. The image shows a sequence of shots while the Moon Earthshine of October was setting above Bey mountains and close to Mediterranean Sea, in Antalya, Turkey.
PT: Dois a três dias após a lua nova é o momento ideal para apreciar o fenómeno Earthshine (ou seja, a luz é refletida da Terra para a Lua, e novamente de volta da Lua para a Terra em forma de Earthshine), por ser totalmente visível a olho nú cerca de 30 minutos após o pôr-do-sol, e não muito longe do horizonte ocidental. A imagem mostra uma sequência de fotos enquanto o Earthshine lunar de Outubro se deitava atrás das montanhas Bey, perto do Mar Mediterrâneo, em Antalya, Turquia..

Olhe atentamente para o final do pontão, onde fica localizado o tecto do último lounge. Encontrou o ponto laranja brilhante?.

Kicking the Moon Right on Target During a Partial Solar Eclipse
The image shows the entire sequence of last Partial Solar Eclipse of the year in October 25, 2022, seen above the Mediterranean Sea, from Antalya, Turkey. The background captured in the morning twilight of the same day, shows the Earth Shadow and Belt of Venus visible in the back, while my own silhouette was giving a kick…like if the Moon was a black ball crossing in front of the solar disc. The solar disc was captured with a baader filter using a 14-24mm lens set to 22mm. As well as the the foreground image (without the solar filter), which was taken with the same focal distance at approximately the same place. If you want to see another version while throwing the Moon into the Sun, click here.
PT: A imagem mostra o último Eclipse Solar Parcial do ano – ocorrido a 25 de Outubro de 2022 – visto acima do Mar Mediterrâneo e a partir de Antalya, na Turquia. A imagem em pano de fundo foi captada ao crepúsculo náutico do mesmo dia, mostrando a “Sombra da Terra e o Cinturão de Vénus” (faixa azul escura e rosa, visível logo acima do horizonte) enquanto a minha própria silhueta dava um chuto bem forte…na nossa querida Lua, como se esta fosse uma pequena bola preta que subiu tão alto, que cobriu um pedaço do Sol. O disco solar foi captado com um filtro baader usando uma lente 14-24mm ajustada para 22mm. Assim como a imagem de primeiro plano (sem o filtro solar), que foi captada com a mesma distância focal e aproximadamente no mesmo local.

Sungazers Enjoying the Sequence of the Last Partial Solar Eclipse of the Year
The image shows the entire sequence of last Partial Solar Eclipse of the year in October 25, 2022, seen above the Mediterranean Sea, from Antalya, Turkey. The background captured in the morning twilight of the same day, shows the Earth Shadow and Belt of Venus visible in the back, while a couple of sungazers (me and my girlfriend) were enjoying the sky and simulating to point to the path. The solar disc was captured with a baader filter between 13:40h and 18:00h (+3h UT), when the sun was in the Meridian and until it was setting behind the Bey mountains, using a 14-24mm lens set to 22mm. As well as the the foreground image (without the solar filter), which was taken with the same focal distance at approximately the same place.

O disco solar foi captado com um filtro baader entre 13:40h e 18:00h (+3h UT), quando o sol estava no Meridiano e até este se pôr atrás das montanhas Bey, usando uma lente 14-24mm ajustada para 22mm.
