This has fascinated me for a while; I must be overlooking something.
Seemingly the sun's rays hit the moon at an angle that often don't make sense when considering the sun has set. See http://www.jamesphotography.ca/moon.jpg which was shot about 1/2 an hour following sunset. The camera was level. We're observing 3-d objects in 3-d space, so distances make no difference when analysing this from a geometry standpoint. And what we're looking at isn't some curved inside-of-a-bowl phenomena; again, it's all 3 dimensional. Insights? --jim |
