Explanation: A very full Moon [5] rose over Manhattan's Upper Eastside on June
28, known to some as the Strawberry Moon [6] . Near the horizon, the warm
yellow lunar disk was a bit ruffled and dimmed by a long sight-line through
dense, hazy atmosphere. Still it fit well with traffic and lights along East
96th street in this urban astroimage. The telephoto shot was (safely) taken
from elevated ground looking east-southeast from Central Park, planet Earth
[7] . Of course, the East 96th street moon was the closest Full Moon to this
year's northern summer solstice [8] .
