The next full Moon, the Sturgeon Moon, will be this afternoon, appearing "opposite" the Sun (in Earth-based longitude) at 2:11 PM EDT. The Moon will appear full for about three days centered on this time, from around midnight early Sunday morning until after midnight on Tuesday night/Wednesday morning. This shot was taken by the crewmembers aboard the space shuttle Columbia, you can see a full moon about to set beyond the limb of Earth. A full moon should be round but when it is near the limb, or edge of Earth, the atmosphere tends to distort the shape. Credit: NASA | c. 1996 #NASA #fullmoon #skygazing #spaceshuttle
