      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.
