Did you go outside to see the supermoon tonight? The moon was a bit nearer Earth tonight at the time it became visible on the horizon in the eastern sky. It looked huge! The experts tell us the difference of its nearness to Earth was small, but closest to Earth at the exact moment, or within a minute or two, of the time it became a full moon.
I didn't need to know that to be astounded by the beauty of it. An orange ball that at times had lines of clouds across it had me almost hypnotised. I didn't want to take my eyes off it but I also wanted to get these pictures. Used my iPhone with the Instagram app for different effects.
If you didn't see it, pictures are a somewhat poor substitute for the real thing, but I think they turned out relatively nice in almost darkness.
Enjoy!

Thanks for those pictures of that amazing moon!
ReplyDeleteI heard it was supposed to be beautiful again Sunday night but stood outside for a long time and it ws never visible. Clouds, I suppose.
DeleteThank you for sharing the pictures. I was in bed asleep, and had forgotten all about the big, full moon!
ReplyDeleteI see from your blog that you had a busy stable cleaning day so I can understand that you fell into bed early!
