I am horrified that even when I do not intrude on a thread I am still dragged in by a screaming head. The picture is excellent, the description less so.

The image of the Moon lit up by the reflected light of the Earth is gorgeous but only when the observer has a feel for the rarity of that image as an experience.

Coming up to the eclipse I don't think anyone wants to present the forum in its worse light when perhaps there are insights here that can be found nowhere else and have been dormant since Galileo first presented telescope images of the planets and moon with their phases.
