Moon rising over the Bey Mountains, Turkey, time-lapse image. The bright waxing crescent of the Moon is visible due to sunlight reflected from the Moon. The rest of the Moon is visible due to Earthshine, which is the fainter reflection of sunlight from the Earth to the Moon and back again. Photographed from Antalya, Turkey, in October.
