This gorgeous image shows this month’s full Moon, also known as a “Cold Moon”, seeming to hover above a set of satellite tracking dishes on the campus of the Instituto Nacional de Tecnica Aerospacial (INTA), in the southern part of the Canary Islands’ Gran Canaria, at Montaña Blanca. One of the antennas – the 15 m-diameter dish seen at left – is ESA’s Maspalomas tracking station, which currently communicates with ESA’s Cluster, LISA Pathfinder and XMM-Newton missions. It was captured on December 14, 2016 by amateur photographer Claus Vogl, from Fürth, Germany. (Photo by Claus W. Vogl)
