Pop Culture

The inquisitive girl said to her mom, Janet
‘The earth is hollow and not made of granite
Because I see herds	
Of hopping mad birds
Pecking at the ground to pop our planet’

Janet thought her daughter was fooling around
Then heard, ‘Mom, birds want the world less round.
Hens stab it with their toes
And then the ostrich goes
And sticks its head fully into the ground

This eerily beautiful glow is called Earthshine. It's sunlight that's been reflected off of Earth, then bounced off the Moon and back to our eyes. Earthshine is easiest to observe in the few days before and after a new moon, when the part of the Moon that's directly lit by the Sun appears as a slim crescent. We see the earthshine but just did not know it. I thought you would like to know. Thank you for dropping by my page. Sara
