I have this new image on my image selection:

This image shows our fascinating neighbor - the moon. The image was taken from the panorama terrace on mount Kahlenberg in close vicinity to Vienna, the capital of Austria. Although within easy reach, it's not the best observing destination due to the high amount of light pollution by the city.

<<Kahlenberg is a 484 Meter mountain in the Wienerwald. Sobieski launched the 1683 second siege of Vienna from here. Kahlenberg was originally called Schweinsberg after the numerous wild pigs that lived in the pristine oak forests. The mountain is notable as the place where Einstein, Neurath, and others made the first plans for what would later become the International Encyclopedia of Unified Science, around 1920.>>
