NASA'S PICTURE FOR THIS DAY

“The Moon through the Arc de Triomphe” is copyrighted by Stefano Zanarello. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.

COSMIC MESSAGE

This image of the Moon through the Arc de Triomphe required careful planning. The photographer had to consider the angular size of the Moon and the Arc, as well as the precise timing. The Moon only appears centered inside the Arc for a brief period. This kind of shot combines astronomical timing with terrestrial landmarks.
