10月9日的满月是北半球秋分之后的第二个满月，传统上被称为猎人月。根据传说，这个名字很合适，因为满月照亮了狩猎的夜晚，为即将到来的冬季做准备。在这张快照中，在10月8日日落之后，一个近乎完整的猎人月在佛罗里达州太空海岸的天空中升起。从地球升起的猎鹰9号火箭从摄影师的有利位置穿过明亮的月球盘。月球表面的波纹和条纹是由于火箭通过月球时产生的超音速冲击波改变了大气层的折射率而形成的。

The Full Moon of October 9th was the second Full Moon after the northern hemisphere autumnal equinox, traditionally called the Hunter's Moon. According to lore, the name is a fitting one because this Full Moon lights the night during a time for hunting in preparation for the coming winter months. In this snapshot, a nearly full Hunter's Moon was captured just after sunset on October 8, rising in skies over Florida's Space Coast. Rising from planet Earth a Falcon 9 rocket pierces the bright lunar disk from the photographer's vantage point. Ripples and fringes along the edge of the lunar disk appear as supersonic shock waves generated by the rocket's passage change the atmosphere's index of refraction.
