The photo above shows the crescent Moon rising above Sardinia, Italy on December 21, 2022, the morning of the winter’s solstice. At this time, the waning Moon was only 6% illuminated. A moonrise is always a magnificent sight, but even more so when over placid waters. Here, near Mari Ermi, Sardinia, flamingos and other migratory birds often stop off to “fuel up” before departing for their winter or summer territories.
