Το Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD: 2023 Dec 25)  της NASA και του Τεχνολογικου Πανεπιστημίου του Μίσιγκαν, την ημέρα των Χριστουγέννων δόθηκε για στην παραπάνω φωτογραφία στον Valerio Minato.


Ο φωτογράφος Valerio Minato προέβη σε ένα ενδιαφέρον στοίχημα, επιδιώκοντας την τέλεια ευθυγράμμιση μεταξύ της Βασιλικής, του Superga, του Monviso και του Crescent, δημιουργώντας έτσι μια εντυπωσιακή φωτογραφία.  Ο Minato, ως παθιασμένος φωτογράφος, αφιέρωσε έξι χρόνια για να αποτυπώσει αυτήν τη μοναδική σύνθεση, αντιμετωπίζοντας με αποφασιστικότητα τις δυσμενείς καιρικές συνθήκες καθ' όλη τη διάρκεια της προσπάθειάς του.

Explanation: Single shots like this require planning. The first step is to realize that such an amazing triple-alignment actually takes place. The second step is to find the best location to photograph it. But it was the third step: being there at exactly the right time -- and when the sky was clear -- that was the hardest. Five times over six years the photographer tried and found bad weather. Finally, just ten days ago, the weather was perfect, and a photographic dream was realized. Taken in Piemonte, Italy, the cathedral in the foreground is the Basilica of Superga, the mountain in the middle is Monviso, and, well, you know which moon is in the background. Here, even though the setting Moon was captured in a crescent phase, the exposure was long enough for doubly reflected Earthlight, called the da Vinci glow, to illuminate the entire top of the Moon.
