    1. Thank you Andrew. It's not called the halo. This is what I got from the Internet -
      The fact we can sometimes spot a faint outline of the dark sections of the Moon when it's not full is because some of the light from the Sun is bouncing off Earth and lightly illuminating our lunar companion. The effect is called 'Earthshine'.
