A rising [4]Full Corn Moon was captured early this month in time-lapse with a telephoto lens from nearly 30 kilometers away -- making [5]Earth's ascending half-degree companion appear unusually impressive. The image was captured from [6]Portugal, although much of the foreground -- including lights from the village of [7]Puebla de Guzmán -- is in [8]Spain. A Full Corn Moon is the [9]name attributed to a full moon at this time of year by cultures of some northern [10]indigenous peoples of the Americas, as it coincides with the ripening of [11]corn. Note that the [12]Moon does not appear larger when it is nearer the horizon -- its [13]seemingly larger size there is only an [14]illusion. The next full moon -- occurring at the beginning of next month -- will be known as the Full [15]Harvest Moon as it occurs nearest in time to the [16]northern autumnal equinox and the northern field harvests.
