according to Nikodem, it was surprising evening.
However if you passed this event, the reason for grief is not present — after all it will repeat again in the middle of July. On July 15 a lunar sickle, having passed by Mercury the night before, again will meet Venus — celestial bodies will divide only 1 degree.
In this picture can also see well-known a luminescence Leonardo di ser Pyero da Vinchi — 500 years ago Leonardo di ser Pyero da Vinchi offered the unusual theory explaining why all surface of the Moon can shine at night even if the Sun shines only its part. And it was absolutely right! Luminescence Leonardo di ser Pyero da Vinchi which is also known as ashy light of the Moon, call effect when all surface of a lunar disk seems seen in spite of the fact that the part shined with the Sun can make some percent. Till the 16th century nobody could explain the phenomenon reason, however Leonardo di ser Pyero da Vinchi for the first time assumed that the sunlight reflected from Earth, shines a satellite surface. However as it could come to it in the 1500th years when the majority of people at all did not know that Earth rotates round the Sun — a riddle.
