Explanation:
The
Full Moon of October 9th
was the second Full Moon after the
northern hemisphere autumnal equinox, traditionally called the
Hunter's Moon.
According to lore, the name is a fitting one because this
Full Moon lights the night during a time for hunting
in preparation for the coming winter months.
In this snapshot, a nearly full Hunter's Moon
was captured just after sunset on October 8, rising in skies over
Florida's Space Coast.
Rising from
planet Earth
a Falcon 9 rocket pierces the bright lunar disk
from the photographer's vantage point.
Ripples and fringes along the edge of the lunar disk appear as
supersonic
shock waves generated by the
rocket's passage
change the atmosphere's index of refraction.
