The ascending Moon in the form of the Etrussky Vase
John Stetson
The explanatory: What has befallen the Moon? The answer: anything. Though in some places on the Earth during the past two weeks ago a February full moon the ascending Moon had exclusively bent form. In particular, at the Moon rising because of horizon, the part which is its turned image so it seemed, as if the Moon zashchipnuli was visible. This phenomenon has been named by Zhjul True, the pioneer of science fiction, "the Etrussky Vase" because the Moon form reminded a vase. Occurrence of this additional piece in the Moon image is caused by a moonlight bent by a layer of cold air in atmosphere of the Earth, kept at a surface of the Earth. The photographer who has made this shot, also informs that when the Moon ascended, at the Moon bottom edge the red edging was hardly distinguishable, and at an upper edge the edging was green. This phenomenon is similar on known for much green beam and happens, when atmosphere operates as a prism which forces beams of different colour to extend on slightly various trajectories. The image placed on a picture, slightly has been compressed across that it was possible to find room for it in a standard window.
