La Luna dei fiori, che prende il nome dallo sbocciare dei fiori in Nord America, proietta un bagliore radioso sul cielo notturno della contea di Luzerne, in Pennsylvania, USA, nel maggio 2023. Nonostante l'iniziale copertura nuvolosa, la luminosità della luna ha fatto breccia intorno alle 23:00, creando uno spettacolo incantevole. Questa accattivante immagine catturata da uno smartphone non solo commemora l'evento celeste, ma sottolinea anche l'importanza di salvaguardare il buio dei nostri cieli. Riceve una menzione d'onore nella categoria Immagini fisse scattate esclusivamente con smartphone/dispositivi mobili. La brillantezza della luna illumina le complessità dell'atmosfera terrestre, creando un dramma atmosferico accentuato dalla presenza di nuvole sparse. Preservare questi cieli incontaminati è fondamentale per mantenere il nostro legame con le meraviglie celesti.
