Re: The Full Moon

So last night it was finally clear(ish), and I managed to get a couple of photos:




At last! LOL

Cool pic, especially the first one of the moon in the clear with clouds below.

Thanks, guess I was kinda lucky and happened to check at a good time

Yes! Been noticing the Moon getting fuller these last few days, and we’ve been getting some good clear nights here lately, so looking forward to what could be some decent photo opportunities this time!

[Rogue]

Clear skies here tonight, nice view of the full moon. Guess who forgot to take a photo!

[TrueCrazyLion]

Ugh, nightmare - know that feeling!

Here there’s been near constant cloud cover for the last 3 days or so. After a mainly clear month! Pretty frustrating. LOL

Cool. Hope we get some clear nights in the near future!

[TrueCrazyLion]

I just captured me some photos! Just 5 minutes ago, from my patio door:




Yes!! Hope the sky clears completely at some point so I can catch more!

[Rogue]

Mine didn't come out so clear this time...

Tonight

[TrueCrazyLion]

That still looks really good. And perfectly centred in the photo!

I actually saw the Moon’s halo last night, from behind the same buildings in my photos above, and from how bright it looked I guessed it must be close to being full.
Woohoo! More photo opportunities coming up, hopefully!

[TrueCrazyLion]

Just came across this photo earlier this afternoon, which I don’t think I’d posted here before - the full Moon over Dundee in February 2017:

^^Always nice to see some local landmarks as well

This Full Moon is a Supermoon

This full Moon is the first of two supermoons for 2021. The term "supermoon" was coined by astrologer Richard Nolle in 1979 and refers to either a new or full Moon that occurs when the Moon is within 90% of perigee, its closest approach to Earth. Since we can't see a new Moon (except when it passes in front of the Sun), what has caught the public's attention in recent decades are full supermoons, as these are the biggest and brightest full Moons for the year.


These two full Moons are virtually tied, with the full Moon on May 26, 2021, slightly closer to the Earth than the full Moon on April 26, 2021, but only by about 98 miles (157 kilometers), or about 0.04% of the distance from the Earth to the Moon at perigee.

A double Supermoon! That is pretty cool. And the first one is meant to be within 24 hours? Looking forward to it!
Great article!

Interesting that the article mentions the Supermoon on 9th March 2020 BTW. I actually photographed that one with my DSLR when I was outside Pizza Hut waiting to collect a pizza I’d ordered that night:

[TrueCrazyLion]

Managed to take this photo earlier on tonight:



Unfortunately the sky was hazy, which took the edge off of the clarity! :-/
