EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Toby Melville, a passenger plane gracefully glides across the night sky in front of a breathtaking supermoon full moon over London. The juxtaposition between the colossal aircraft and the giant-sized celestial body creates an awe-inspiring visual spectacle. The image showcases the creative use of light and shadow as the moon's ethereal glow illuminates both the plane and its surroundings. Against the backdrop of darkness, this natural phenomenon takes center stage, showcasing nature's remarkable beauty. As we gaze at this picturesque scene, we are reminded of our place in the universe. The moon, acting as Earth's satellite in space, has always held a mysterious allure for mankind. Its surface remains largely unexplored, yet it continues to captivate us with its ever-changing phases. This photograph was taken on January 31st, 2018 during a lunar eclipse when our planet aligned perfectly with both sun and moon. This rare occurrence resulted in a supermoon – when our celestial neighbor appears larger than usual due to its proximity to Earth. Through Toby Melville's lens, we witness not only an extraordinary moment but also an invitation to contemplate our existence within this vast cosmos. As we marvel at this harmonious dance between man-made technology and natural wonders above us, let us remember that there is still so much left to discover beyond what meets our eyes here on Earth.
