Like any goodastrophotographer,Brennan Gilmoreis always waiting for the perfect moment to get the shot he’s after.
And last month’sJupiter oppositionwas the moment that he’d been waiting for.

Gilmore was familiar with the site, as he’d previously photographed the full moon rising behind the barn.
But for all his careful planning, he wasn’t entirely sure that he’d calculated everything correctly.
Seeing the planet so seemingly close to a barn on our planet is hopefully a reminder of this correlation.
