The Full Moon yesterday, on 7 April, 2020, rose up almost in time of perigee, yet in back sunlight scattered not only on (this years’ closest) Full Moon, but also on the Kuneticka Hora castle from 15th century, now freshly reconstructed. Image was taken from about 6km distance by Hrádek village, so the castle made…
