The biggest moon of the year , shot with a 800mm lens yesterday evening above the Cunera Church in Rhenen, when it was rising behind a thin layer of clouds. The moon was about 8% bigger than normal because of its position to the earth.

UGC 4879
Classified as an irregular dwarf galaxy, UGC 4879 is a little smaller and messier than its cosmic cousins, lacking the majestic swirl of a spiral or the coherence of an elliptical.
This galaxy is relatively isolated. Its nearest neighbor is about 2.3 million light-years away!
