Hunter’s Moon photos: Best of 2021

View at EarthSky Community Photos. | Ragini Chaturvedi was at Old Bridge, New Jersey, when she captured this image of the rising, nearly full moon. She wrote: “This evening’s almost full moonrise at 99.5 % illumination. Hunter Moon, across the Belt of Venus, right above the horizon.” Thank you, Ragini! All full moons look full for several nights in a row. But it’s a characteristic of the Hunter’s Moon to rise around the time of sunset – in twilight – for several evenings in a row. Lots of opportunities for great Hunter’s Moon photos!
