1/ 🌑 The Moon’s ashen light always blows my mind! The dark side isn’t pitch-black, even though the Sun lights its far side. Why do we see it faintly glowing? Let’s dive into this cosmic wonder! #Astronomy #Moon

3/ Think about it: when you see the Moon’s shadowed side, you’re seeing light from Earth’s sunlit surface. It’s like the Moon is reflecting our planet’s glow back to us. How wild is that? #Cosmos #MoonLight

4/ A photon’s epic journey: born in the Sun’s core, it travels 150M km to Earth, reflects off our surface, hits the Moon, bounces back, and lands in your eye. It sparks a signal in your brain—and you see the Moon’s ashen light. Mind-blowing! 🤯 #Physics #Space

2/ The Moon has two big “stars” in its sky: the Sun and Earth. Earth shines way brighter—12x larger in area and 3x more reflective than the Moon in our sky. That faint lunar glow? It’s sunlight bouncing off Earth to the Moon! 🌍✨ #Space #Science
