April Moon Rising Above Perthshire Scotland

Tour Scotland travel video of an April full moon rising at sunset above Perth, Perthshire. My moon video, well it is 226,000 miles away and difficult to video. The Moon is Earth's only permanent natural satellite. It is the fifth largest natural satellite in the Solar System, and the largest among planetary satellites relative to the size of the planet that it orbits. The Moon is in synchronous rotation with Earth, always showing the same face, with its near side marked by dark volcanic maria that fill the spaces between the bright ancient crustal highlands and the prominent impact craters.
