      Explanation: On July 13 this well-planned telephoto view recorded a   
      Full Moon rising over Lubovna Castle in eastern Slovakia. The   
      photographer was about 3 kilometers from the castle walls and about   
      357,000 kilometers from this Full Moon near perigee, the closest point   
      in its elliptical orbit. Known to some as supermoons, full moons near   
      perigee are a little brighter and larger in planet Earth's sky when   
      compared to full moons that occur near the average lunar distance of   
      around 384,000 kilometers. Of course any Full Moon near the horizon can   
      show the effects of refraction over a long sight-line through dense   
      clear atmosphere. In this image, atmospheric refraction creates the   
      slight green flash framed by thin clouds near the top, with a ragged   
      red rim along the bottom edge of July's perigee Full Moon.
