And I’m not talking about some Super Bowl wardrobe malfunction. I ventured out last night to see the sun set and the moon rise. Everyone seemed to know that the moon was closer and brighter than it had been in 18 years. There were people on the beach, on the bridges and at waterside parks all out to see the Super Moon.
The sunset was nice.
The Moon was a lovely orange for the occasion. I like the detail I could get by playing around with my camera settings.
Of course it did turn white as it rose in the night sky.
I remember the last time this happened the NPR show All Things Considered had a contest to name this event for the moon. I don’t remember what term won. I called it “Lunar Max”.
