Last night was a Super Full moon ... meaning that the path of the full moon was closest to the earth.
The Indians call it a Wolf moon... because it is the first full moon of the year and the wolves come out.
There was also a Lunar Eclipse... the Sun, Earth and Moon line up and Earth's shadow darkens the Moon surface.
It was also a Blood moon... because of particulates in the air (or was it atmosphere?) Earth's shadow casts a red tint to the moon.
We went out onto the porch and tried a few pictures.
My phone, didn't capture the redness.
I tried taking a picture with my phone and got this.
Then, I tried zooming in and got this
Then I dug out my camera. It is very difficult to balance on crutches and stand still. I even tried leaning back against my husband to stablize myself; but no go. The camera captured the color, but I kind of wobbled all over the place and got some interesting exposures.
My husband tried and I think he got the clearest, most stable shots.
Did you get out to see the moon.... it won't happen again until 2037 or 2057... depending on which article you read. :)
Oh I love them!!! The wobbly ones are cool
