This is the APOD from November 3, 2012. This is a picture of the full moon during late October. It was taken over the Italian Alps. This was the second full moon after the Autumnal Equinox. For many it is called the Hunter's moon. This is because they used the light from the moon to hunt in preperation for the harsh winter. The sun in this picture is setting and the mountains depicted are around 11,000 feet tall.
