<<Mount Victoria is a prominent hill 196 metres high immediately to the east of central Wellington, New Zealand. About 4 kilometres due south is a spur named Mount Albert and the two are linked by a ridge. Mount Victoria was used twice as a location in Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings film trilogy. The very first footage on the project was shot off Alexandra Road on 11 October 1999, called the "Get off the road" scene, followed by the "Escape from the Nazgûl" scenes a few hundred metres to the North. Later an old quarry at the top end of Ellice Street was used as the Rohirrim camp at Dunharrow.>>[/quote]

This is my favorite wives to see. Almost every forum/theme website has it, but great video editing. Reminds me again and again why I love space :)

Thanks bystander; very nice!

A very welcome repeat, probably one of the APODs of all time.

It's cool that the moon's surface - in particular, the edge - seems to be roiling like the surface of the sun! (Yes, I know it's only due to atmospheric refraction - of the earth's air not the moon's!)

A beautiful video. I think I remember seeing it before. Regardless, well worth seeing again.

[b] Explanation: [/b] Have you ever watched the Moon rise? The slow rise of a nearly full moon over a clear horizon can be an impressive sight. One impressive moonrise was imaged in early 2013 over [url=https://youtu.be/sLksVCI5wBs]Mount Victoria[/url] [url=https://youtu.be/5ycPoVPVtsA]Lookout[/url] in [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wellington]Wellington[/url], [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Zealand]New Zealand[/url]. With [url=https://markg.com.au/2013/01/full-moon-silhouettes/]detailed planning[/url], an [url=https://markg.com.au/about/]industrious astrophotographer[/url] placed a camera about two kilometers away and pointed it across the lookout to where [url=https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/moons/earths-moon/overview/]the Moon[/url] would surely soon be making its nightly debut. The [url=https://vimeo.com/markg/fullmoonsilhouettes]featured single shot sequence[/url] is unedited and shown in real time -- it is [i]not[/i] a time lapse. People on [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8zlUhcmlsc]Mount Victoria Lookout[/url] can be seen in [url=https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap160501.html]silhouette[/url] themselves admiring the dawn of Earth's largest satellite. Seeing a [url=https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap190310.html]moonrise[/url] yourself is not difficult: it happens every day, although only half the time at night. Each day the [url=https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap090223.html]Moon rises[/url] about [url=http://www.astronomycafe.net/FAQs/q1038x.html]fifty minutes later[/url] than the previous day, with a full moon [url=https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap180624.html]always rising[/url] at sunset. This Saturday, October 16, is [url=https://moon.nasa.gov/observe-the-moon-night/about/overview/]International Observe the Moon Night[/url], where you observe a [url=https://moon.nasa.gov/moon-in-motion/moon-phases/]first-quarter Moon[/url] along with [url=https://moon.nasa.gov/observe-the-moon-night/]other lunar enthusiasts[/url].
