Re: Re Why is it beautiful?
Well, the colors on the Moon depend on the sun angle, don't they? (Other than the occasional orange soil, not on the rocks themselves).
Anything reflecting sunlight will be more brilliant than on Earth and this makes seeing anything in the shadow more difficult (granted, it's perfectly possible, but not as easy as on Earth). Even when in the LM's shadow, the astronauts were never able to see stars. Will it ever happen in our lifetiem? Of course, we wish it. But.....
