Yes, I like it! ![:D]( "Very Happy")
Today's APOD is what Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa would have looked like, if Leonardo had painted her with large pixels (or big filled circles) instead of brush strokes, and if he had used too few pixels or circles!
As the color nerd that I am, and the lover of blue things that I am, I can't help noticing that the darkest, Earthshine-illuminated Moon disk are a very dark shade of blue, maybe something like this: ███
That shade of blue is not very blue, to be sure, but it is bluer than I expect the Moon to ever appear to be. And it is also bluer than any of the dark areas in Leonardo's painting. Is that the true hue of Earthshine, then?
Can't you find the Lady in the Moon? Here she is:
