Gibbous Moon Timelapse over Chilean Desert

Gibbous Moon Timelapse over Chilean Desert

A gorgeous gibbous Moon climbs into the sky from the ridge line of Cerro Pachón, the home of four NOIRLab-operated telescopes including NSF–DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory, jointly funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) and the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science (DOE/SC); Gemini South, one half of the International Gemini Observatory, supported in part by the NSF; and the SOAR Telescope of Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory, a Program of NSF NOIRLab.

Petr Horálek, the photographer, is a NOIRLab Audiovisual Ambassador.
