107_moon.jpg Smith Telescope with Nearly-full Moon
A nearly full gibbous Moon shines at sunset over the dome of the 2.7-meter (107-inch) Harlan J. Smith Telescope at McDonald Observatory. While the dome was viewed from about half a mile away, the Moon, at the time of this photograph, was nearly 222,000 miles away. Distances can be truly deceiving in West Texas!
