Almost a Halloween moon. On a similar subject:
Tonight's the night: When you look up at the sky Sunday evening, you will be able to see the moon at its biggest and brightest all year.
The supermoon occurs when the moon becomes full at the closest point in its orbit to Earth, called a perigee full moon. Although there has already been a supermoon this year on July 12, this one will be particularly striking. It will become full at the same time as its perigee, making it the most super of the supermoons this year. The moon is expected to appear 12% bigger and 30% brighter than it did in January 2014, when the moon was full at the farthest point in orbit (or "lunar apogee"
Beautiful, moody shot Cathy!!! Love the purplish color of the sky and how you caught the clouds going across the moon!!! @allie912 Thanks for the info Allison. I may have to give it a shot tonight!
