What is earthshine?
When you look at a crescent moon shortly after sunset or before sunrise, you can sometimes see not only the bright crescent of the moon, but also the rest of the moon as a dark disc. That pale glow on the unlit part of a crescent moon is light reflected from Earth. It’s called “earthshine.”

In brief: From Wire Reports:
New York – A letter that scientist Francis Crick wrote to his son about his Nobel Prize-winning DNA discovery was sold to anonymous buyer at a New York City auction on Wednesday for a record-breaking $5.3 million.
The price, which far exceeded the $1 million pre-sale estimate, topped $6 million when the commission is included, according to Christie’s. The price was a record for a letter sold at auction, Christie’s said, eclipsing an Abraham Lincoln letter that sold in April 2008 for $3.4 million including commission.
On Thursday, the molecular biologist’s 1962 Nobel Prize medal in physiology or medicine will be offered by Heritage Auctions, which estimates it could fetch more than $500,000.
The items are among a dozen artifacts Crick’s heirs are selling to benefit scientific research.
Government extends HARP mortgage help
WASHINGTON – The U.S. government is extending a program that allows borrowers with mortgages backed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac to refinance at lower rates.
The Home Affordable Refinance Program, known as HARP, was to expire Dec. 31. The Federal Housing Finance Agency, which oversees Fannie and Freddie, said Thursday it is extending the program through 2015 to enable more borrowers to use it. About 2.2 million people have refinanced their mortgages through the program since April 2009. Officials had hoped that at least 4 million borrowers would participate.
For borrowers to qualify, the amount owed on their mortgage must be more than 80 percent of the home’s appraised value. Borrowers must be current on their mortgage, which must have been sold to Fannie or Freddie before June 2009.
Google will make final email arrangements
NEW YORK – Google has launched a tool that lets users decide what happens with their email, Google Plus and other accounts after they die – or become inactive online for any other reason.
Called “inactive account manager,” the feature lets users of Google’s services tell the company what to do with email messages and other data if their account becomes inactive.
For example, Google says, users can choose to delete their data after three, six or 12 months of inactivity. Or they can choose specific people to receive the data.
Besides Gmail and Google Plus, other services covered include YouTube, the photo-sharing service Picasa and Blogger. Google Inc., based in Mountain View, Calif., says it will warn users through a secondary email address or a provided phone number before taking any action.
