Explanation:
Sharing
dawn's twilight with the Moon on September 29,
Mercury was about as far from the Sun as it can wander,
the innermost planet close to its maximum elongation in
planet Earth's skies.
In this colorful scene fleeting Mercury is
joined by a waning sunlit lunar crescent and earthlit
lunar nightside,
the New Moon in the Old Moon's arms.
Below is the Italian
Medicina Radio
Astronomical Station near Bologna with a low row of antennae that is
part of Italy's first radio telescope array dubbed the "Northern Cross",
and a 32-meter-diameter parabolic dish.
Of course, moonwatchers won't have to rise in early morning hours
on October 8.
After sunset the Moon will be high and bright in evening skies,
at its first quarter phase for
International Observe
the Moon Night.
