Full Moon and Jupiter Setting at Dawn

Clear sky with unusually good visibility to the southwest of Mutare early Monday 17th June provided a magnificent view of the Full Moon (and for a while Jupiter) setting behind Chikanga Township at dawn. It is unusual for the Moon and a planet to remain so clearly visible while descending behind a distant horizon as shown in the accompanying photo.
