The Da Vinci Glow

A 26 hour old Moon poses behind the craggy outline of the Italian #Dolomites in this twilight mountain and skyscape. The one second long exposure was captured near moonset on March 30. And while only a a sliver of its sunlit surface is visible, most of the Moon's disk can be seen by earthshine as light reflected from a bright planet Earth illuminates the lunar nearside.

Also known as the Moon's ashen glow, a description of earthshine in terms of sunlight reflected by Earth's oceans illuminating the Moon's dark surface was written over 500 years ago by Leonardo da Vinci. Of course earthshine is just the most familiar example of planetshine, the faint illumination of the dark portion of a moon by light reflected from its planet.

Via #CNN - March 21, 2025

The northern #Italian region known as #Trentino, or officially the Autonomous Province of #Trento, will pay residents of #Italy or Italians living abroad €100,000 to renovate one of the many abandoned houses in the region where the #Dolomites meet the #Alps.

The catch?

Anyone who signs up to the deal has to live there for 10 years or rent the property out for that length of time, or risk having to pay back the grant.
