The Earth's natural satellite the Moon in its waning gibbous phase now seen above the artificial rows of street lamps. The difference between these 2 lights - The Moon one planet that gives light as well but not of its own. The light that the moon gives is the light reflected from the sun because the moon does not have its own light. The street lamps however are artificial light that is made up of advanced technology that resembles natural light (sunlight). This picture was taken using the night mode function of the phone camera and we see nothing from this photograph except for the glittering lights from the lamps and the Moon !
