There was a crystal clear sky on Saturday evening and an almost full Moon was watching us. I love Moon and I have always wanted to take a decent photo of it. Now I managed to capture it. It is not the best shot, I admit, but it is my most usable pic so far.
The photo is a bit noisy because of the high ISO setting (1600).
Interesting facts:
The average Earth-Moon distance is 384 403 km and its diameter is 3474 km.
The orbital period is 27.3 days (this is the time while Moon takes a complete round around our planet).
The first map was created in 1609 by Galilei.
Apollo program provided six landings on its surface between 1969 and 1972.
