This is the APOD from February 25, 2013. It was taken last week by an astrophotographer who, while taking pictures of Jupiter near the Moon, realized an incoming plane would pass by the moon as well. This ocured over Australia. This long exposure also made three of Jupiter's moons come into focus. Soon after this picture was taken Jupiter passed behind the moon and later reappeared on the other side.
