The first full moon of 2022, the Sardinian skies and the dance of the flocks of birds at sunset, these are the ingredients of NASA's astronomical photo of the day (APOD - Astronomy Picture of the Day). The author of this beautiful shot is the Sardinian photographer Elena Pinna, who posted on social media the photo that stares at a moment, with the starlings that seem to dance with the moon in the sky of Cagliari.

"Emotions to the maximum when I saw the flocks near the Moon", said Pinna, "I waited a few moments for them to get closer to the Moon and I took the shot".

Published on Monday, January 17, today it was selected by NASA as the astronomical photo of the day. Photographer Elena Pinna picked up her first SLR in 2011, but the passion for the Moon was born during the lockdown of the first months of 2020: "At that time I photographed the Moon every day when possible, creating the album One moon a day ". Since then he has taken it back as soon as he can together with many places in Sardinia. "The shot on Monday was really lucky, I left work I had the reflex with me and I chased the rising moon".
