At the Summer Solstice, the full moon rises behind the columns of the ruined temple of Poseidon on Cape Sounion, south of Athens. The Moon often appears orange or yellow when close to the horizon, as its light is filtered through the thick layers of the Earth’s atmosphere. At these low angles, the Moon can look much larger than usual because our eyes compare it with familiar objects on the skyline.
