Déjà Vu all over again September 15, 2024

The renowned photographer Ansel Adams snapped his ethereal picture "Autumn Moon: the High Sierra From Glacier Point" at 7:03 p.m. on September 15, 1948.

"Autumn Moon:" depicts a gauzy moon hanging in the darkening sky above the jagged peaks of the Clark Range.

In 1994, "forensic astronomers," at Texas State University and led by astrophysicist Donald Olson, pinpointed the moment that Ansel Adams shot his famous photograph of the moon rising over Half Dome in Yosemite Valley after poring through celestial history, plotting lunar phases, building a special computer program, and calculating shadow angles.

Thus, utilizing the same type of information, a second picture of "Autumn Moon" was taken last Thursday, September 15, 2005 at 7:03 p.m.

A third picture will be added to this posting when the next exact moment occurs in nineteen years at 7:03 p.m. on September 15, 2024.
