The Moon seen in the light cast by the Earth.

"In this picture, the Moon is seen illuminated solely by light reflected from the Earth -- Earthshine! The bright glow on the lunar horizon is caused by light from the solar corona; the Sun is just behind the lunar limb. Also caught in this image is the planet Venus, at the top of the frame."
