Every time this pic gets reposted I wonder how could the Earthshine on the Moon be so bright while the landscape is so dark. Almost like it's...

Cameras suck at picking up contrast so that’s why the moon might appear so bright.

The moon is close ish to the horizon so it looks bigger because it has something to be compared to.

Ps I have no idea if this image is not a real picture but those are most likely explanations

Because the sun was shining on the moon. All of the lunar missions were during lunar day so the sun was always shining.

Conspiracy people don’t science very well.

The Earthshine isn’t very bright. The thin crescent on the bottom is much brighter as it’s in direct sunlight. This is a very simple photograph taken with a high ISO and exposure of at least a couple seconds (judging by star movement and experience).

Would it be possible for humans to build and install an artificial moon ring?
