“Crepuscular Moon Rays over Denmark” is copyrighted by Ruslan Merzlyakov (astrorms). NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThis moonrise over Limfjord in Denmark shows crepuscular rays, which are beams of sunlight or, in this case, moonlight, made visible by dust or water droplets in the air. Even though the Moon was only half-lit, it created a dramatic display as it rose below scattered clouds near the horizon.
