EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a rare celestial event that took place on January 21,2015, above the picturesque town of Silver City, New Mexico. The image showcases a breathtaking conjunction of the Moon, Mercury, and Venus in the evening twilight sky. The thin waxing crescent moon takes center stage, with Mercury positioned just below it and Venus shining brightly to its left. What makes this photograph even more captivating is the presence of earthshine on the crescent moon. This phenomenon occurs when sunlight reflects off Earth's surface and illuminates the dark portion of the moon's surface. It adds an ethereal glow to an already mesmerizing scene. The horizontal composition allows for ample copy space around these celestial bodies against a clear sky backdrop. No people are present in this shot, emphasizing nature's grandeur and immensity. Alan Dyer's expert photography skills have beautifully captured this momentous occasion where planets align in perfect harmony with our natural satellite. The city lights of Silver City add a touch of human habitation to this cosmic tableau but do not detract from its awe-inspiring beauty. This color image serves as a reminder that there is so much wonder beyond our earthly realm waiting to be discovered and appreciated.
