In today's image, we see an alignment of three objects - The Cathedral in front of the distant mountain here on Earth - timed so that the Moon was rising directly behind the mountain (and cathedral!) It took the photographer several years of waiting for the weather to cooperate on a day when the Moon would be properly aligned to get this image.
