Date: 2020-05-09

In today's image, we see the Moon rising off over the horizon. The May full moon, known as the Flower Moon, was one of the larger and brighter full moons we will have this year. This is because it occurred within a couple of days of the Moon's perigee - it's closest approach to the Earth in its monthly orbit.
