Tonight in the sky was a rare treat, after sunset a rare grouping of the 3 brightest naked-eye objects (after the Sun) all huddled together low in the southwestern sky: a young crescent Moon, with Venus (bottom center) and Juper (upper right).
The upper photo is overexposed, to show the Moon's dark side -- which is visible because it is lit up by what appears, from the Moon's vantage point, to be a nearly full Earth shining down from the sky. The photo below is a bit more true to visible reality.
