A Full Moon rises Feb. 1 above Launch Complex 39B, from where the Artemis 2 mission and its Space Launch System booster will depart no earlier than March, following a delay due to multiple issues during the mission’s first wet dress rehearsal. The photographers captured this shot from Titusville, Florida, around 11 miles from the pad, with a Canon mirrorless camera and 800mm zoom lens, capturing a single 1/40-second exposure at f/9 and ISO 500.
