   Explanation: This is not a screen from a video game. Nestled below the
   tree-line, the small mountain church does look like it might be hiding
   from Moon though. In the well-composed telephoto snapshot, taken on
   November 23, the church walls are partly reflecting light from
   terrestrial flood lights. Of course, the Moon is reflecting light from
   the Sun. At any given time the Sun illuminates fully half of the Moon's
   surface, also known as the lunar dayside, but on that night only a
   sliver of its sunlit surface was visible. About three days after New
   Moon, the Moon was in a waxing crescent phase. The single exposure was
   captured shortly after sunset in skies near Danta di Cadore, northern
   Italy, planet Earth.
