The Falcon and the Hunter’s Moon

The Plump Moon of October ninth was the 2nd Plump Moon after the northern hemisphere autumnal equinox, traditionally called the Hunter’s Moon. Basically primarily based totally on lore, the name is a becoming one because this Plump Moon lights the night throughout a time for trying in preparation for the upcoming iciness months. On this snapshot, a nearly chunky Hunter’s Moon was captured lawful after sunset on October 8, rising in skies over Florida’s Rental Scurry. Rising from planet Earth a Falcon 9 rocket pierces the crude lunar disk from the photographer’s vantage point. Ripples and fringes along the brink of the lunar disk seem as supersonic shock waves generated by the rocket’s passage alternate the atmosphere’s index of refraction.
