I am currently obsessed with this site, http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/. If you're into all things celestial, you should check it out.



Moonrise, Cape Sounion, Greece

The Moon was full this month on June 22nd...on May 23rd, astronomer Anthony Ayiomamitis recorded this picture of another southerly full Moon rising above Cape Sounion, Greece. The twenty-four hundred year old Temple of Poseidon lies in the foreground, also visible to sailors on the Aegean Sea. ...casual skygazers often find the full Moon looking astonishingly large when seen near the horizon. That powerful visual effect is known as the Moon Illusion.

Meanwhile, a text message I received this morning:

"Good morning beautiful
