A nomenclature of 'Blue Moon' almost never means a Moon of a blue color but with the summer nights, a literally blue appearing Moon, or Moon in the daytime is a fun one to spot. The northern hemisphere was showing off a bit before sunset, and with the May 23 full Moon so close I couldn't resist a few pictures. Happy lunar viewing! #astronomy#Astrodon#moonlight#lunar#bluesky#bluemoon
Few remember the National Geographic speculative evolution mini-series "Extraterrestrial – Alien Worlds". Even less remember that it had an official companion book. I'm glad I managed to get my hands on a copy a while ago. It was sold at a temporary exhibit themed after the tv program at the Science Museum London back in 2005.
Going back through about 5000 images I took the other night as the moon rose over the southern ocean. Found this one which i quite like, #moonrise#moon#supermoon#bluemoon#NewZealand
Absolutely incredible moonrise for the blue moon/supermoon combo tonight. I went out to Cape Saunders on the Otago Peninsula and boy was I glad I did! Here's a picture taken at 6:08:49 when technically the moon was at very low altitude (much less than a degree) and WOW OH WOW look at the refraction effects as the moon rises over the Ocean. #bluemoon#supermoon#moon#astronomy#refraction#NewZealand
