Why there are no stars between the horns of the crescent on this picture?
because the rest of the moon is in the way....
Reply:Hi. The heck with the stars. The angle of the Moon's crescent precludes the angle of the rainbow. The image is fake.
Reply:because it was photoshopped in there

Firstly, he has pasted the moon into the picture, as the sun (in relation to the rainbow) is in the wrong position for creating a crescent mooon.





Secondly, there are no stars in the picture at all (sky is too light)





Thirdly, he knows that between the “horns” of the moon is the part of the moon not sunlit. In fact you can almost make out the unlit part – it is a vision that most city dwellers and casual sky observers miss. Sometimes you can see the unlit part of a moon at crescent phase, due to reflected light from Earth.





This guy should take some lessons in using graphics. Not very good.
Reply:I always wondered why they drew the star (Venus) right there in the center of the moon, when of course that could never be, Venus being further away than the moon and what not.

Azerbaijan and Turkey are the only two realistic ones.





Here is a more realistic picture of the crescent moon and evening star.

Reply:Are you trying to make a point? I don't get it.
Reply:There's something i think called a lunar cycle. The crescent you see is the sun shining on that particular part of the rest is just shadow.





If the Moon were a crescent, then why do the books and pictures of the Moon in outerspace show it being a sphere like thing instead of a crescent?





If you look carefully at the moon, you can see the outline of the rest of the moon.
Reply:Okay, Alexander, somebody made that picture for you a little while ago. And it was explained to you that while it makes a neat looking picture, it is an impossible view. Now please, please don't put stars in the crescent. Okay? That would be too much. One astronomical sin per picture, please.
Reply:I don't see any stars in that picture at all. As previously noted that picture is obviously a fake. Whoever made it needs to practice a little more on their photo-shop skills.





Edit: HAHA I just got it. Took me a while.
Reply:A physics top contributor should know that the rainbow won't fall in front of the hedge.
