Tonight, skywatchers can witness the 'Golden Handle' effect on the moon. This occurs when sunlight catches the rim of the Sinus Iridum crater, specifically the Montes Jura mountain range, creating the illusion of a golden handle attached to the terminator (the line between light and dark). The phenomenon is best viewed with binoculars or a small telescope, and offers a brief but stunning lunar spectacle. Check your local time for optimal viewing as the sun's angle shifts quickly, altering the effect.
