Astronomers have pinpointed the exact time and location where Ansel Adams was when he made the famous photograph Autumn Moon, the High Sierra from Glacier Point. And the exact same conditions are about to reoccur on September 15!
So what? Silly scientists. First of all, we have the Ansel Adams photo already. We don't need to recreate it.

Make your own photographs, scientists.
