Twice-reflected sunlight subtly illuminates the dark limb of the crescent moon just before and after the new moon in a phenomenon called Earthshine, or 'Da Vinci glow'.
A phenomenon called 'Da Vinci glow' will be visible on the dark limbs of the moon on successive days this week and again next weekend.
Da Vinci glow is named after Italian genius Leonardo da Vinci, who in the 15th century described the phenomenon as caused by sunlight being reflected by Earth's oceans to illuminate the moon's dark surface, according to NASA . 'Da Vinci glow' is also sometimes called"moon glow" or"ashen glow" and, in folklore, either the"new moon in the old moon's arms" or the"old moon in the new moon's arms" , according to Almanac.com .
Here's when to see Da Vinci glow on the moon in the eastern sky in the hour before sunrise this week:
