An Etruscan Vase Moon Rising
NASA APOD · John Stetson
COSMIC MESSAGE
Sometimes, the Moon looks distorted as it rises, an effect caused by light bending through Earth's atmosphere. This image captures February's full moon appearing strangely pinched near the horizon. Pioneering science fiction writer Jules Verne called this phenomenon the "Etruscan vase" for its shape.
