Luna Loves the Sun

Luna Loves the Sun is part of the Infinite Astro: Moon & Stars Fine Art Photography Collection. This single exposure image was captured on May 19, 2022, at 5:13 AM CST, when the Moon was in its waning gibbous phase, 83–85% illuminated and roughly 18–19 days into its cycle.

This image beautifully embodies the fleeting balance between night and dawn, as the Moon yields to the first glow of sunrise. Soft gradients of light frame the waning gibbous, creating a visual dialogue between celestial and earthly time. Luna Loves the Sun is a reminder of those rare hours when the two share the sky, a quiet union of opposites in harmony.

Perfect for collectors of fine art photography who are drawn to the rhythms of the cosmos, this piece captures not only the Moon’s phase but also the poetry of transition—when day and night touch at the edges.
