The image depicts a beautiful "Hunter's Moon," which contracts in the dark sky with the illuminated pink mountain peak in the Italian Alps known as Rochemelon. While this peak catches the first light of the rising sun, the moon is still very prominent, being the second full moon after the northern hemisphere autumnal equinox, happening during the last week of October. Full Moonsets have many epithets, including, besides the Hunter's Moon, the Wolf Moon, the Snow Moon, Milk Moon, Harvest Moon, and Oak Moon.
