The Moon photographed as it rises along the Devil's Saddle is today the protagonist of NASA's astronomical photo of the day. The famous APOD page (Astronomy Picture of the Day), which tells the daily wonders of our Universe, today shows a reddened Moon flowing along the Cagliari promontory.
Author of the shoot, the Sardinian photographer Lorenzo Busilacchi, who with the composition of a sequence of six shots immortalized the rising of the moon on June 15, the day after the supermoon.
“I wanted to show the Moon in a natural and urban context”, Busilacchi declared, “and the reddened Moon seemed to embrace the city and the famous Sella in its movement”. A shot that immortalizes those few minutes in which the moon rose and that tells the whole world of a natural monument, loved by all Cagliari people.
