Last night's eclipse was not visible in my neck of the woods, but the moon itself looked amazing. A gigantic, perfectly round, ball of light. At first I could not fnd it because it was so close to the horizon rather than higher up in the sky where I expected it to be. But then, just as I was about to turn around and head back into my building, I caught a glimpse of it that took my breath away. It was the biggest, brightest full moon I have ever seen.
Unfortunately, neither my cell phone nor my camera captured any of the detail on its surface, but I did wind up with some interesting, unexpected effects, such as this shot on the right that looks as though there are several other small "moons" below the real one.
