The two-day old crescent moon, brilliant Venus above, and faint Mercury below...

...and the progression of evening twilight.

First photo is taken during the 'blue hour'

In the second photo the planets sink closer to the horizon and some red hues appear in the bottom of the frame.

The third photo is almost in full night, but some dark red is still there along the bottom of the frame.

A deep blue twilight sky. It's dark enough that earthshine on the moon's disk is obvious. Venus is upper right. Mercury, fainter, is near the bottom and a bit left of center.

In darker twilight the planets are closer to the west horizon. Some red hues are along the bottom of the frame.

It's nearly full night and the sky is pretty dark. A good number of stars of Pisces are visible. Subdued brick-red hues are in the bottom of the frame.

The Moon and Saturn

Taken last night, January 31st. Saturn is the brighter object at upper left. The moon was a waxing Cresent, but I overexposed intentionally to capture the darker, night side lit up by the reflection of sunlight from the Earth, known as "Earthshine" as well as Saturn itself.

tonight was less clear than last night, and there was also a LOT less earthshine! i think it was because the twilight had fully faded. so, i think earthshine is maximal somewhere between the new crescent phase, and the gibbous waxing crescent phase. that's when there's a balance between the twilight being too bright to see the earthshine, and the phase-lag between the Sun and the Moon too large for the earthshine to be visible! #earthshine #astronomy

Well we didn’t get the eclipse here but tonight is the most incredible #earthshine I’ve ever seen, seen here together with the planet #Jupiter over the magical turrets of #Luxembourg. There is a Rush lyric for most occasions and tonight’s is of course «Earthshine»

On certain nights
When the angles are right
And the moon is a slender crescent
It’s circle shows
In a ghostly glow
Of earthly luminescence
Earthshine
A beacon in the night
I can raise my eyes to earthshine

32 hours after the total eclipse, the young crescent moon hangs over the village of La Luz in southern New Mexico.

Earthshine allows us to see the entire disk of the moon, not just the crescent.

The sun is about ten degrees below the horizon at this time.

Most of the sky is a deep blue, except for a narrow band of orange red just above distant mountains.
