Last night I spotted the moon low on the horizon and noticed how large and red it was. I missed the full moon of August a few days ago, and according to the Old Farmer’s Almanac, it is sometimes known as the Sturgeon Moon, the name likely given by both colonists and Algonquian-speaking people in northeastern North America, as sturgeon are native to both Europe and the Americas.

It was beautiful here, also!

Every once in a while the moon catches the light of the setting sun and is all aglow like you captured it here. Nice shot, Pete.

Thank you, Gary π That is a good question. No tides, no moonlight, no meteorite absorber. No moon landing conspiracies. No famous words from Neil Armstrong. No Space 1999 π
