TL;DR Summary

A unique crescent moon lit by Earthshine, also known as the "Da Vinci Glow," will be visible in the sky for the next three days. Earthshine is the phenomenon of light reflecting off the face of the Earth, illuminating the moon. This allows stargazers to see the whole moon, even though it should be covered by the Earth's shadow. The best time to see it is during a waxing or waning crescent, and clear skies are necessary. The phenomenon was first described by Leonardo da Vinci, who used his artistic insights and knowledge of geometry to explain it.
