ZZ-ZZ-ZZ-FN-Earthshine.gifCoronal Mass Ejection and Earthsine115 visiteThis photograph was taken by Devgun Chander of Sohna, Haryana, of India. It shows a striking clarity to the earthshine region of the Moon. When I first look at the photograph I was impressed that Aristarchus was standing out so bright even though it very close to the sunset terminator. I sent the photograph to Dr. Anthony Cook the senior recorder for the L.T.P. sections of BAA and ALPO. He sent me the measured brightness of specific lunar formations and of the Lunar Maria.
(...) The Maria across the face of the Moon is uniformly bright except for the formations Mare Humorum, Mare Frigoris and Maria located near Aristarchus. Dr. Anthony Cook believes they are brighter due to the glare from the nearby sunset terminator. (...) The fact that we had a significant coronal mass ejections into space or CME take place on November 8-9,2004 causing aurora reports all over the World. If Solar Excitation is a factor for the extreme brightness of the Earthshine this would be the event to cause it.
