   Explanation: As the Sun set, a bright Full Moon rose on July 10. Its
   golden light illuminates clouds drifting through southern hemisphere
   skies in this well-composed telephoto image from Concei+º+úo do Coit+¬,
   Bahia, Brazil. The brightest lunar phase is captured here with both a
   short and long exposure. The two exposures were combined to reveal
   details of the lunar surface in bright moonlight and a subtle
   iridescence along the dramatically backlit cloudscape. Of course,
   July's Full Moon is a winter moon in the southern hemisphere. But in
   the north it's known to some as the Thunder Moon, likely a nod to the
   sounds of this northern summer month's typically stormy weather.
