  • The nearly full moon shines over Mount Shuksan, a 9,131 foot (2,783 meter) mountain in Washington's North Cascades, which is reflected in Picture Lake. Shown here at about midnight, Mount Shuksan was formed about 120 million years ago when two of Earth's plates collided and were thrust upward in an event known as the Easton collision.

  • The full moon shines against the night sky. Captured during the "super moon" on August 9, 2014. A supermoon occurs when the moon is full at the same time as it makes its closest approach to Earth, a part of the moon's elliptical orbit known as perigee. The moon's distance from Earth varies between 222,000 and 252,000 miles (357,000 to 406,000 km). A supermoon can be up to 14 percent larger and 30 percent brigher than a full moon at apogee, or the farthest point from Earth.

  • The full moon falls into total eclipse, becoming what is popularly referred to as a blood moon on January 20, 2019. Lunar eclipses occur when the Earth passes between the sun and the moon, blocking direct sunlight from reaching the moon's surface. A small amount of red-orange light, however, bends around the Earth and passes through its atmosphere, a phenomenon known as Rayleigh scattering, causing the moon to glow red during the totality phase of the eclipse.

  • The full moon in a type of lunar eclipse known as a Super Blood Moon rises over Mount Rainier in Washington state. The total lunar eclipse of September 27, 2015 occurred when the moon was at perigee — its closest approach to Earth — making the moon appear more than 10 percent larger. While lunar eclipses are relatively common, it is rare for an eclipse to happen when the moon is at perigee. Such eclipses only happen about once every 20 years. Mount Rainier, an active volcano, has an elevation of 14,411 feet (4,392 meters), making it the tallest mountain in the Cascade Range and the highest point in Washington state.

  • The full moon begins to set behind the Teton Range as fog forms at night in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming. The Teton Range is the youngest mountain range in the Rocky Mountains, forming between 6 to 9 million years ago.

  • The full moon rises over the Grand Canyon and Colorado River in this view from the Tuweep Overlook (also spelled Toroweap) in Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona.  The Tuweep Overlook, located on the north rim of the Grand Canyon, provides one of the most dramatic canyon views. Here, the canyon is 3,000 feet deep and one mile wide — one of the few places on the Grand Canyon rim where you can see both the Colorado River and the other side of the canyon.

  • The Three Sisters, a cluster of three volcanic peaks in central Oregon, are bathed in alpenglow as the full moon sets into the Belt of Venus just before sunrise in this aerial view. The three peaks are the third-, fourth- and fifth-highest peaks in Oregon. Of the three, the South Sister, visible on the left, is the tallest with an elevation of 10,385 feet (3,157 meters) and is also known as Charity. The Middle Sister, also known as Hope, is the shortest with an elevation of 10,047 feet (3,062 meters). The North Sister, also known as Faith, is slightly taller at 10,085 feet (3,074 meters). The Three Sisters are unusual in that the volcanic peaks are in a dense cluster; volcanoes in the Cascade Range are typically spaced out with 40 to 60 miles (60 to 100 kilometers) of distance between them. Of the three peaks, only the South Sister is likely to become active again. The last eruption was 50 B.C. The Three Sisters are part of the Three Sisters Wilderness, Oregon's second-largest wilderness area.

  • A Northwestern Crow (Corvus caurinus) dives to attack a Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) as it watches over its nest in Kirkland, Washington. The nearly full moon is visible in the background. Crows are often seen chasing hawks or eagles in flight, or repeatedly diving at them when they perched, a practice known as mobbing. Research is inconclusive, but scientists think this harassment helps to force the birds of prey to hunt elsewhere, ultimately reducing the threat to the crows and lowering competition for food.
