See it on NASA's siteThe Full Flower Moon rose bright and full on May 7, near its closest point to Earth in its elliptical orbit. Near the horizon, the Moon takes on rose-pink hues from reddened sunlight in this twilight scene. This image captures the Moon over a flooded field and a ruined church tower in Italy.
