A wonderful picture, which sparks the wonder of the Solar System and Universe. Our Moon emits no light or energy of its own, it is a dead rock orbiting Earth. What we see in your picture is a reflection of a light from the Sun so bright it shown from 93-million miles away to the Moon and enabled those dead rocks to reflected that bright light another 235-thousand miles to Earth. Only a few hours after your picture was taken, Earth turn far enough on its axis so that The Villages receive that bright light directly from the Sun making life on Earth possible. Facts we all know but sometimes forget to think about and set our minds to wonder.
