On the night of August 11th to 12th, the August full moon occurred, also known as the Sturgeon Supermoon. The image was captured by Rafael Sánchez's camera on the island of Lanzarote, leaving a spectacular image.
Rafael explains on his social networks that "he had been wanting this photo for a long time, to be able to capture the moon over the Guanapay volcano next to the beautiful Santa Bárbara castle, an emblematic place of Lanzarote".
NASA explains that the term supermoon was coined in 1979 and is used to describe what astronomers would call a perigee full moon: a full moon that occurs when the Moon is at its closest point to Earth, about 363,300 kilometers away.
