The image is a photograph of a crescent moon during a total solar eclipse. The moon is partially obscured by a thin layer of light, which appears to be a partial solar eclipse, as it is partially visible in the center of the image. The background is dark, making the moon stand out even more. The image is taken from a low angle, looking up at the moon from a distance. The light from the moon is bright and shining, creating a contrast between the dark sky and the bright light.
