  1. Jared Mysko Did I miss something, who said "back side"? What's amazing is that the side of the moon not directly illuminated by the sun (which we are looking at here) becomes fairly bright, due to earthshine!

  2. Jared Mysko I´m not sure if I understood you when you mentioned the Pacific Ocean in this context? :)

  3. Yeah, he mentioned the night side. And thats the side not illuminated... Which does rotate every 28 days.

  4. Semantic twists: "Dark side of the moon", certainly since Pink Floyd, has become to be understood as the "back side". We think of sides of circular shapes as front and back, like a coin, even though there is really no "side" whatsoever to a sphere. Dark 'area' might have not elicited that comment, but not nearly as button-pushing as 'dark side'. :)

    I once did a piece of music called "Dark Side of the Sun", in a reference and further twist of the concept of 'dark side of the moon'.

    Fantastic image !

  5. 詹姆斯邦德 wow ... Chinese character set names are very difficult to address using "+" ! ( I had to copy and paste the characters ). That shot of the moon is a long exposure of the moon illuminated by 'Earth shine' -- the light reflected from the Earth which faintly illuminates 'the dark side of the moon' (as it faces us between the Earth and the Sun )
