🌕 The Hunter’s Moon, October’s Full Moon, peaking at 12:12 AM ET, photobombed by a Boeing 737-800 (N8698B) over Florida's Space Coast. @SouthwestAir 2257 was traveling from Orlando (MCO) to San Juan (SJU), on Sunday (10/25) @ 20,150 ft & 398 kts.
This Moon is named for the autumn hunting season, when a bright Moon over the cleared fields helped hunters track game. If you've got clear skies tonight, go outside and check it out.

Imagine being that pilot and not knowing (for now) that this picture is out there! If I were them, I'd pay top dollar to have this hung on my wall!!! This is incredible!

Dreamy scene over the Indian River Lagoon Tuesday morning as SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 rocket carrying the Bandwagon 5 mission.
It launched at 7:04am (ET), 31-mins into the launch window, just 22-mins before sunrise, so it wasn't as dramatic as the last space jelly-fest, but it was still a pretty view.
Details: ISO100, f/22 and 199-secs with a @CanonUSA R5mii & EF16-35mm with a 6-stop ND filter. (I was running a second camera without the filter and it's entirely blown out.) – at Palm Shores, FL
