A study in distances imaged from my site at The Gap, Brisbane, Australia. (Altitude 176 metres). The waning gibbous Moon 373,000 km distant on 8^th December 2025 is shown rising behind the 51km distant Moreton Island sandhills. In the foreground is the Port of Brisbane facility at 25.5km, and the Brisbane Airport control tower (identified), at 20km. This is one exposure of a series of Moonrises over this area between 5th and 8th December.
