Moonrise at “Artemis Hour”
This seemingly common picture of the rising Moon behind Kunetic Castle has a touch of rarity. I captured it today, on 7 April, 2026, from Hrobice, Czech Republic, after 1 a.m. Central European Time. At the same moment when the Artemis II crew flew closest to the Moon and took a series of breathtaking shots. So we (unknowingly) photographed each other from a distance of over 400 thousand kilometers! People have never pointed cameras at each other in history for such a big distance! Used Nikon Z6III, ISO 8000, 500mm, f5.6, HDR exposures.
