The October’s special issue of Astronomy magazine “100 GREATEST PICTURES OF THE UNIVERSE” features 36 pages of spectacular astrophotography from professional observatories and astroimagers, selected among thousands of pictures. I am very honored to have one of my images among this stellar parade!
The selected image shows a super young 19 hours and 7 minutes old Moon setting behind the Alps:
Ho appena terminato un poster con immagini della Luna Piena “catturata” accanto a monumenti e paesaggi piemontesi che ho, di conseguenza, chiamato Pied”moon”t. I monumenti (e le relative “Lune”) inclusi nel mosaico sono (da sinistra in alto in senso orario): la Mole Antonelliana (w/ Strawberry Moon), la Sacra di San Michele (w/post-eclipse Cold Moon), Santa Maria del Monte church (w/ Not a Blue Moon), Santa Vittoria Castle (w/Beaver Moon), Basilica di San Giovanni Bosco (w/ Strawberry Moon), the Basilica of Superga by night (w/ Snow Moon), Basilica of Superga by day (w/ Old fashioned Blue Moon) e al centro la Wolf Moon sorge dietro una casa nelle Langhe .
Chi fosse interessato ad una stampa ad alta risoluzione del poster o di singole immagini mi contatti via mail: stefanoderosa66@gmail.com
