“Lick Observatory Moonrise” is copyrighted by Rick Baldridge. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThe full Moon rose behind Mount Hamilton, east of San Jose, California, framing Lick Observatory. Both the observatory and the Moon show the warm color of sunlight filtered by a long path through the atmosphere. Atmospheric refraction gives the Moon a ragged, green rim. This March full Moon is also known as the Worm Moon.
