Solstice Dawn and Full Moonset

This June 20 dawn skyscape from central California captures a Full Moon setting as the Solstice Sun rises. The scene looks across Mount Hamilton and the Lick Observatory domes. This date marks an astronomical change of seasons and extreme daylight hours in the Northern Hemisphere. Earth's shadow stretches toward the western horizon, with a colorful anti-twilight arch above it.
