Amateur astrophotographer Francisco Sojuel took an amazing photo of our satellite: because of the clouds, the Moon looks like Saturn – as if it is attempting to impersonate the ringed planet.
At first, it looks like a full moon – but it’s not. We are actually looking at the dark side of the moon. Because of the exposure, it looks like a full moon at first glance. But then you notice the crescent in the bottom left.
By dark side, I meant the night side of the moon, not the far side that we never see.
