“The guard stared at me with the expression of a man trying to decide whether the person in front of him is a threat or simply an idiot” In this edition of the Weekender: sailing in the Strait of Hormuz, chasing a black-beaked swan, and the Cinnamon Gum Olympics

It seemed impossible to me that whole shadowed side of the moon was lit up by earthshine during the #Artemis2 eclipse yesterday.

Now it makes sense. What seemed impossible is revealed in today’s photo #NASA photo drop.

Earthshine and starshine can coexist on the shadowed side of the moon.

The Astronauts are referring to earthshine, which I assume means earth relected sunlight lighting up the shadowed side of the moon. This seems impossible given the current locations of the 3 body system. Is it starshine lighting up the shadowed side or does earthshine refer to another phenomena?

This is why proportional representation works better than plurality rules in multiple candidate elections (think the 2025 NYC mayoral primaries).
