“Manhattan Moonrise” is copyrighted by Stan Honda. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteA Full Moon, sometimes called a Strawberry Moon, rose as the Sun set on June 9, 2017. Close to the horizon, the moon takes on a warm hue as sunlight filters through Earth's atmosphere. This telephoto shot captures the illuminated lunar disk rising over the skyscrapers of southern Manhattan. It's a reminder of the vast distances in our solar system, from our planet to the moon.
