Subj : Daily APOD Report To : All From : Ben Ritchey Date : Tue Jul 03 2018 11:05:26 APOD: 2018 July 3 - An Airplane in Front of the Moon Astronomy Picture of the Day Discover the cosmos! [1] Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer. 2018 July 3 [2] An Airplane in Front of the Moon Image Credit & Copyright: Ji-Hoon Kim [3] Explanation: If you look closely at the Moon, you will see a large airplane in front of it. Well, not always. OK, hardly ever. Actually, to capture [4] an image [5] like [6] this [7] takes precise timing [8] , an exposure fast enough to freeze the airplane and not overexpose the Moon -- but slow enough to see both, a steady camera, and luck -- because not every plane that approaches the Moon [9] crosses in front. Helpful equipment includes a camera with fast continuous video mode and a mount that automatically tracks the Moon [10] . The featured fleeting superposition [11] was captured from Seoul [12] , South Korea [13] two weeks ago during a daytime waxing gibbous [14] moonrise. Within 1/10th of a second, the airplane crossing was over [15] .
