I'm pretty sure this moon's not orbiting Earth...but Apache's right. The 
earthward side of our own moon is visibly lit by reflected light from 
Earth, even when it isn't lit directly by the sun. Of course, there are 
also places on the moon that are only starlit...those on the portions of 
the far side of the moon that are in shadow. This image must be taken 
from a vantage point between the planet and the moon.
