Giant yellow moon behind tall, distant lighthouse and lighthouse-keeper's Victorian residence.

In 1874, President Rutherford B. Hayes appropriated funds to build the Nubble Light on a “nub” of land along the rocky Maine coast. Today, it’s listed on the National Register of Historic Places, visited by thousands and a favorite among photographers. Manish Mamtani captured this photo on January 22, 2019 and wrote:

I was really upset as I couldn’t capture the full moon rising over the Nubble lighthouse due to bad weather. I just decided to go out the next day and take pictures without expecting much. My day started with a brilliant sunrise and ended with one of the most dramatic moonrises I have ever seen. Didn’t expect much but couldn’t ask for more.

Giant yellow moon appears directly behind distant lighthouse.

EarthSky lunar calendars are cool! They make great gifts. Order now. Going fast!
