A large, illuminated moon sculpture floats between tall trees in a park at night. The moon's surface features detailed craters, and it emits a soft, white glow, lighting up the area around it. People are seated in chairs scattered across the grass, facing the moon, some standing and talking nearby. The trees are a mix of dark greens, with their leaves lit by the moon's glow and the ambient light of the evening. In the background, faint orange and yellow light filters through the trees.
