A recent Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) features a full Buck Moon rising over distant mountains, captured on July 28 from Krk Island along the coast of Croatia. The image showcases the Earth's shadow and the Belt of Venus, a pinkish antitwilight arch. The full Buck Moon sets the stage for the New Moon to come, which will cast its own shadow on planet Earth in a much anticipated total solar eclipse on August 12.

The image was taken by Branko Nadj and is featured on the NASA website. The APOD is a daily feature that showcases a different image or photograph of the universe, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer.
