Description
Rhine River near Rudesheim, Germany
September 2023
The full moon in September 2023 was a special celestial event. It was the September Harvest moon and the fourth consecutive "Super Moon" of the summer of 2023. In addition, the moon was accompanied by Jupiter, Saturn and mercury nearby. While Mercury, the smallest planet in the solar system. would be hard to detect with the naked eye (or shot telephoto lens!), there was a good chance to see Jupiter and Saturn, the two largest planets in the solar system. Unfortunately, light clouds prevented a look at Jupiter on this particular evening - it wold have been to the left and a little below the moon. But, Saturn shows up in the image above and to the right of the moon. The title references a special little girl - our second granddaughter - who was born on the same day as the Harvest moon appeared.
