Reflection of the Earth too, of course, in the earthshine, as mentioned.

Craters and Shadows at the Lunar Terminator

I used to really enjoy looking at the lunar terminator with my telescope. It is very underrated in my opinion, and it never failed to impress novices.

Spiral Galaxy NGC 4038 in Collision

Breathtaking, but I did not know that you could take images made public from an agency, process them, and copyright it. I'm not saying that it is wrong though. It probably encourages work like this, which I certainly appreciate.
