EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the ethereal beauty of a full moon rising over White Rock pier in British Columbia, Canada. The serene scene showcases the mesmerizing celestial body against the backdrop of a tranquil pier, creating a perfect harmony between nature and human-made structures. The image not only serves as a visual delight but also provides valuable insights into lunar science and astronomy. The dark areas or seas visible on the moon's surface are remnants of ancient lava plains that once flowed across its landscape. These vast expanses offer clues about our satellite's volcanic past and its geological evolution. Additionally, scattered throughout the moon's surface are craters formed by meteorite impacts over millions of years. These impact sites provide scientists with invaluable information about cosmic collisions and their effects on planetary bodies.
