新奥尔良上空的月亮
A paddlewheeler makes its way up the Mississippi River as the Moon rises over New Orleans on Sunday evening, Aug. 22, 2021. The August Sturgeon Moon, which was also a rare Blue Moon, was full at 7:02 a.m. local time Sunday but the nearly full Moon still put on a show when it rose over New Orleans later that evening. New Orleans is home to the NASA Michoud Assembly Facility, where the core stage of the Space Launch System that will return people to the Moon was built.

2021年8月22日,周日晚上,当月亮从新奥尔良升起时,一艘桨轮船沿着密西西比河逆流而上。8月的鲟鱼月,也是罕见的蓝月亮,在当地时间周日早上7点02分满月,但那天晚上晚些时候,当它在新奥尔良上空升起时,接近满月的月亮仍在上演。新奥尔良是NASA米丘德组装设施的所在地,这里建造了将人类送回月球的太空发射系统的核心阶段。
