The moon rises over the Clark Mountain Range on Thursday, Sept. 15, 2005, seen from Glacier Point in Yosemite National Park, Calif. Astronomers have pinned down the exact time and date (i can just about guarantee you they used math to do this) that photographer Ansel Adams snapped his ethereal picture "Autumn Moon," and determined that the sun, moon and mountains were to align in the same positions on Thursday at 7:03 p.m. as they did more than 55 years ago when Adams photographed the scene.

About 300 amateur photographers, astronomers and other spectators came Thursday to watch conditions align to repeat the scene in the famous Adams image “Autumn Moon.”
Interestingly, the scene repeats itself every 19 years.
