      Explanation: A popular name for January's full moon in the northern   
      hemisphere is the Full Wolf Moon. As the new year's first full moon, it   
      rises over Las Campanas Observatory in this dramatic   
      Earth-and-moonscape. Peering from the foreground like astronomical eyes   
      are the observatory's twin 6.5 meter diameter Magellan telescopes. The   
      snapshot was captured with telephoto lens across rugged terrain in the   
      Chilean Atacama Desert, taken at a distance of about 9 miles from the   
      observatory and about 240,000 miles from the lunar surface. Of course   
      the first full moon of the lunar new year, known to some as the Full   
      Snow Moon, will rise on February 24.
