Golden Handle
Once a month the Sun and the Moon are just in the right angle so that you can see an effect called “the golden handle”. It happens when the Sun illuminates the Jura mountain range but not yet the floor of the Sinus Iridum crater next to the mountains. This is the first time I’ve gotten a photo of the golden handle! I’m beyond excited. (And again, I’m using binoculars and a smartphone, so the quality is what it is.)
