Nice Picture Michael

Not to get too nerdy on you, but we have no less than two moons at any given time. There is always of course The Moon. However, we also get asteroids that will orbit for a while and leave, sometimes we have several moons at a time; and they are often closer than The Moon. Just an interesting fact, not trying to correct the caption. None-the-less great photo.
