The almost full moon, taken handheld at 1/400” and 200mm, Nikon z7. There is an overall golden cast - this was how it appeared low in the sky just as it rose last evening. The mare and larger craters are visible, some with bright rays extending out almost halfway across the face of the moon.

A person to the left looks at the information display, but also shows the enormous scale of the sculpture - it in s much larger than one adult person in height.
