full moon

This moon will become full in January 2018 as the Wolf Moon … and it is also a super moon but not as super as the full moon earlier in December 2017. This picture was shot at moon-rise and on a cold, clear, dry night so that the moon was exceedingly bright. The details were sharp even to the naked eye and I watched it for a long while, pondering how this moon, “old faithful” is the reason that life on Earth is what it is!
