TOPIC> "Full Moon" ~*~ Above the Dock Above the quiet dock in mid night, Tangled in the tall mast’s corded height, Hangs the moon. What seemed so far away Is but a child’s balloon, forgotten after play. T. E. Hulme 1883 – 1917 ~*~ 2025 July 12 Clouds and the Golden Moon * Image Credit & Copyright: https://www.instagram.com/alexsandromota805/p/DL8VjPIy8Ed/ Explanation: As the Sun set, a bright Full Moon rose on July 10. Its golden light illuminates clouds drifting through southern hemisphere skies in this well-composed telephoto image from Conceição do Coité, Bahia, Brazil. The brightest lunar phase is captured here with both a short and long exposure. The two exposures were combined to reveal details of the lunar surface in bright moonlight and a subtle iridescence along the dramatically backlit cloudscape. Of course, July's Full Moon is a winter moon in the southern hemisphere. But in the north it's known to some as the Thunder Moon, likely a nod to the sounds of this northern summer month's typically stormy weather. https://www.instagram.com/alexsandromota805/p/DL8VjPIy8Ed/ https://moon.nasa.gov/moon-observation/daily-moon-guide/?intent=021 https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/archivepix.html #space #moon #astrophotography #photography #science #nature #NASA
