Astronomy Picture of the Day for Dec 25, 2023.
This beautiful image of the Basilica of Superga near Turin, Italy, framed by the peak of Monte Viso and a crescent moon behind it, was taken by Valerio Minato 10 days ago, after 5 unsuccessful attempts over 6 years. It takes a lot of planning and some good fortune to capture such an image. The alignment occurs about once a year and the weather Gods have to smile.
