last evening while out a few hours after dark i noticed the edge of the dark segment of our crescent moon was glowing fuzzily thus you could see it`s whole circular shape.
i have noticed this before but never as pronounced
an hour or so later upon going out again the effect was still there to the point where i asked 3 random people whilst i was out to look at the moon and ask did the see what i was seeing
in each case they looked and saw nothing until i told them what to look for
then they each expressed shock!
they did see what i was telling and each said they had never seen that effect before and all were disturbed, it seemed, by their discovery as in:
they did not like it
it struck me our moons atmosphere was glowing
NASA Mission to Study the Moon's Fragile AtmosphereIn 1968, on many occasions, NASA's Surveyor 7 moon lander photographed a strange "horizon glow" after dark. Researchers now believe the glow is sunlight scattered from electrically-charged moondust floating just above the lunar surface.
