      Explanation: The Full Moon of October 9th was the second Full Moon   
      after the northern hemisphere autumnal equinox, traditionally called   
      the Hunter's Moon. According to lore, the name is a fitting one because   
      this Full Moon lights the night during a time for hunting in   
      preparation for the coming winter months. In this snapshot, a nearly   
      full Hunter's Moon was captured just after sunset on October 8, rising   
      in skies over Florida's Space Coast. Rising from planet Earth a Falcon   
      9 rocket pierces the bright lunar disk from the photographer's vantage   
      point. Ripples and fringes along the edge of the lunar disk appear as   
      supersonic shock waves generated by the rocket's passage change the   
      atmosphere's index of refraction.
