Our People and Space Winner: Moon Silhouettes

The silhouettes of onlookers stand framed in front of the yellow glow of the rising full moon on March 28, 2013, as seen from Mount Victoria Lookout in Wellington, New Zealand.

A rising or setting full moon regularly appears to change its familiar silvery color to a more yellow-orange hue due to its light refracting off countless  dust particles in Earth's atmosphere.
