Buck Full Moon Over California By Hassan Fattahi
“The Moon is Earth’s only natural satellite. It orbits at an average distance of 384,400 km, about 30 times the diameter of Earth. The Moon’s gravitational pull is the main driver of Earth’s tides. It formed 4.51 billion years ago, not long after Earth’s formation, out of the debris from a giant impact between Earth and a hypothesized Mars-sized body called Theia,” says the photographer on his Facebook page.
“A major geologic process that has affected the Moon’s surface is impact cratering, with craters formed when asteroids and comets collide with the lunar surface. There are estimated to be roughly 300,000 craters wider than 1 km on the Moon’s near side. Two major craters are Tycho and Copernicus which both are visible in the picture. Tycho is located in the southern area (bottom of the picture), and Copernicus Crater is slightly left of the central area.
The image shows a full moon (100%), which I captured from my backyard in Oxnard, California, on 20 July 2024.

Moon And Plain Near Boston By Brian G Weber Photography
“Sometimes in astrophotography, you plan your shots (ISS solar transit) or drive long distances (the solar eclipse) to get in just the right spot…other times you just get super lucky. I live fairly close to Boston, so plane traffic in my imaging is quite common,” says
Brian G Weber Photography. “Normally, I’m pointed at a target for many hours and one or two will have a plane fly through. For solar imaging, it takes me about 90 seconds to capture the 2000 frames for processing. On Friday during my 90 second capture, I watched this plane fly directly through the middle of frame. So cool! I really like how the exhaust trails show against the sun.”
