Valerio Minato's photo that won the Astronomy Picture of the Day Contest by NASA on December 25th, 2023.
In the picture: the moon, the Monviso Mount and the Basilica of Superga (on the Superga hill) outside Turin are all aligned. it took him 6 years to take this shot (and I take it as an example to never give up on your dreams).

Taken in Piemonte, Italy, the cathedral in the foreground is the Basilica of Superga, the mountain in the middle is Monviso, and, well, you know which moon is in the background. Here, even though the setting Moon was captured in a crescent phase, the exposure was long enough for doubly reflected Earthlight, called the da Vinci glow, to illuminate the entire top of the Moon.

La tragedia di Superga | The Superga Tragedy
Today marks the anniversary of a tragedy happened on May 4th 1949: an airplane carrying the Grande Torino football team and 3 journalists (31 people in total) crashed over the Superga hill outside Turin. Nobody survived.
They were coming back home after a friendly match against Benfica in Portugal. Our whole country got very hurt after this tragedy, not just football's enthusiasts but everyone: those people were a symbol of Italy's strength and rebirth after WWII.
10 out of 12 players were part of our NT back then. The team had to end the Italian Championship with the youngers team, and so also the opponent teams did the same when playing against them as a sign of respect. The Federcalcio proclaimed the Grande Torino winner of the Scudetto that year.
