Full Moon of April 2023 Rising over the Dolomites Range
July 10, 2023

Summary Author: Alessandra Masi
The panoramic photo shown above of the rising full Moon over the Dolomites Range in northern Italy was captured during the evening of April 5, 2023. In Italy and a number of other countries, the full Moon just before Easter Sunday is sometimes referred to as the Resurrection Moon. Here, the soft glow extending above and below the lunar disk results from ice crystals in clouds (or free falling through the sky) that happen to be oriented similarly and tipped in the direction of the camera.
