Saturn Behind the Moon
Our Moon passed nearly in front of Saturn earlier this week, as seen from Earth's Southern Hemisphere. This image from Sydney, Australia, captures the pair a few minutes before the eclipse. The single, 1/500th of a second exposure was processed to highlight both the Moon and the ringed planet.
