From Moonrise to Sunset
Posted on November 28, 2008 by nyokkiFiled Under Images and has been tagged: APOD, Science!
Explanation: In this panorama of Earth and sky recorded on Thursday, November 13, the Full Moon rises along the eastern horizon at the far left. Of course, the Full Moon rises at sunset and that Thursday’s setting Sun was also captured at the far right. In between, 17 digital images are stitched together to follow the horizon to the south in a lovely twilight portrait of the city of Lisbon, Portugal. The serene view takes in part of the longest bridge in Europe, the Vasco da Gama bridge, beneath the rising Moon and ends at the mouth of the Tagus River looking west toward the sunset and the Atlantic Ocean. The photographer’s vantage point was Lisbon’s 100 foot high Cristo Rei monument on the south bank of the Tagus, at the foot of the port city’s other famous bridge, the Ponte 25 de Abril.
