Second phase of the moon Thursday night is the one above.
As we drove home Thursday night from the island and visiting with Ryan's mom, we dropped over a rise and saw the moon that night! The full moon and a lunar eclipse had been the night before but we had missed it. Yet here we were looking at a blood red moon as if a lunar eclipse was taking place. We were shocked and very curious as to why this moon was so dark and so red. We never did find out but it remained deep red for the entire drive home and then slowly brightened up to a deep orange. Yet there was not a lunar eclipse that night so we still do not know if it was ash in the atmosphere from the eruptions of the volcano elsewhere in the world or if it was pollution of some other sort. But it was a sight to see!Vana

How did I miss that moon?
ReplyDeleteReally outstanding shot.

Me too, I didn't see it either. But not a surprise, I am rarely awake late enough to see the moon, but I do get UP early enough to see it.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo, Vanadarlin'.

So awesome that you got to see it, Vana! It was all cloudy here. :)
