Year 2026

A view of the year's biggest supermoon rising in a deep purple and blue twilight sky over the Lac du Der in France. The large, detailed moon has a warm, pinkish glow. Several Common Cranes are silhouetted as they fly directly in front of the moon, while many more fly in flocks across the sky. The landscape below features the calm, blue water of the lake in the foreground, with expansive, multi-toned mudflats and fields behind it. In the distance, a line of trees marks the horizon, and more cranes can be seen foraging on the ground. The overall atmosphere is one of serene, magical beauty and natural wonder.

This dramatic night photograph, copyrighted by Hans Enderl, captures the Harvest Moon 2025 Supermoon as it majestically rises behind the historic Hochburg castle ruins near Emmendingen, Germany. The enormous, luminous orange moon is partially obscured by the dark, silhouetted treetops of a dense coniferous forest, creating a striking contrast against the deep blue-black night sky. Below the moon and forest, the ancient stone walls and towers of the castle ruins are visible as dark silhouettes, with a flag faintly discernible atop one of the structures. The overall scene evokes a sense of mystery, history, and natural grandeur.

This captivating long exposure photograph captures the mesmerizing dance of star trails across a deep blue and purple night sky. The stars appear as luminous concentric circles, centered around the celestial pole, creating a dynamic and ethereal effect. Below this celestial spectacle, an old, weathered barn with a rusty roof stands silhouetted against the horizon, flanked by dark trees and bushes. The lower part of the sky near the horizon shows subtle hints of orange and yellow, possibly from distant light pollution or the last remnants of twilight. The overall scene evokes a sense of wonder and tranquility in a rural setting.
