The moon, in its waning gibbous state, rises near the Jupiter Lighthouse in 2013, in Jupiter, Fla. The 108-feet tall, brick structure was first lit in 1860. The lighthouse sits atop a Native American archaeological site, which is at risk from the rising sea level.

Archaeologists are working to identify historic sites that are threatened by rising sea levels in Florida. If they can't be preserved, efforts will be made to document them before they're lost.
