Bob Horowitz on Nostr: The moon, rising directly behind one of the spires of St Paul's Catholic Church. ...
The moon, rising directly behind one of the spires of St Paul's Catholic Church. Taken from our side deck.
I always assumed this alignment would occur every 28 days. But doing a little bit of poking around on the internet, it seems Earth's tilt shifts the moon's position in the sky on a 18.6 year cycle.
So don't expect another picture like this for a while.
