NASA Wants to See Your Best Photos of the Moon

To celebrate the launch of Artemis I, NASA wants to see everyone’s best moon photos. NASAMoonSnap

“I find that so many people connect to Sun and Moon photography, and indeed Astrophotography, perhaps because it is a common shared experience for all on Earth? These are peaceful and amazing shared wonders,” Bill Ingalls, NASA’s chief photographer of the Artemis I mission, tells, explaining why the Moon is one of the most timeless subjects for photographers around the world.

Ingalls started as an intern at NASA in 1987 and became a contact photographer in 1989. He has photographed numerous Apollog anniversary events and of course the Moon as part of his time with NASA. One of the first photos he ever made of the Moon was when it was paired with the Space Shuttle Discovery:

“I always suggest that while photographing the Moon on it’s own can be fun — try to incorporate the Moon with your local landscape, during Moonrise and Moonset, or find a fun way to incorporate people, animals, etc. into your photo,” he says. A supermoon rises behind the Washington Monument, Sunday, June 23, 2013, in Washington. This year the Supermoon is up to 13.5% larger and 30% brighter than a typical Full Moon is. This is a result of the Moon reaching its perigee – the closest that it gets to the Earth during the course of its orbit. During perigee on 23 June the Moon was about 221,824 miles away, as compared to the 252,581 miles away that it is at its furthest distance from the Earth .
