Moon Phases 

The full moon in May was called a super moon. The term is used for the closest full Moon to the Earth  during a year. I think it was 233,000 miles away from the Earth at that time.

Okay everyone, I know you MoonBats have this one... What does the phrase "once in a Blue Moon" signify?

Before you hit the link the next occurs in August.

Ok, Time for the answer. 

Both photos taken at Sassaquin pond. Different crop size shows super moon larger. Blue moon tinted for effect. Looking to the southeast about 60 angle above horizon.

Mars panorama Panoramas from Mars along with panoramas from the Apollo moon sites. Several panoramas from US sites, breath taking.

Home of the world's worst weather  We often complain about the weather, but these folks have just cause. I guess at an elevation of 6300 ft what can you expect.
