This was NASA's incredible Christmas Day image, taken ten days earlier in Piemonte, Italy. The photographer, Valerio Minato, spent six years trying to capture this glorious alignment: Cathedral, Mountain, Moon. Image Credit & Copyright: Valerio Minato
The Cathedral is the Basilica of Superga glowing in the darkness against the outline of Monteviso, with the rising crescent moon behind it.
Utterly, gobsmackingly stunning!
I hope Minato considered it as well worth the wait as I do!
