We all know what this is, our one natural satellite, Luna. The Earth now has many much smaller satellites in orbit around it due to humans, but the one shown above has been with us just about as long as the Earth has existed. I took this photograph from my JaZ Observatory using my home-made and self designed telescope known as Mira.
