Astrophotographer Raven Yu sent in this photo of the moon and an airplane, taken in Marikina City, Philippines, May 24, 2013. Raven writes: "I was taking a photo of the moon around sunset when a plane flew through. I didn't even notice it with my naked eyes because I was busy looking at the camera's live viewfinder. It was a lucky shot, indeed. Getting a picture of a plane crossing the moon is something that I've wanted to do for a long time, and so far this image is the closest thing to that wish."
