Just before sunset on Thursday, September 15th, more than 200 photographers and a half dozen media crews (including one from Japan) converged on Yosemite National Park’s Glacier Point in California. What drew them there was a prediction in Sky & Telescope's October issue, page 40: At dusk that evening, a nearly full Moon would rise in the southeast over Gray Peak and Mount Starr King and show almost exactly the same phase and sky location as in Ansel Adams' famous photograph "Autumn Moon," taken 57 years earlier to the day.
