Disappearing Melon Moon

The bottom of the moon (from my vantage point on planet Earth) always looks like a melon to me.

This was actually taken on the 4th.

Terrific capture.

We have 100% cloud cover, no moon to be seen!!

Love your melon moon!

It is shaped like a melon. Optical illusion.

Tonight's the Super "pink" moon.

[Sam A. Feldstein]

Love the detail here. This is much better than the moon shots I've done

[eDorre]

Love the detail!

[Babs]

Great shot. It is always interesting to see the different position of tycho crater between the northern hemisphere and the southern hemisphere.

[KoalaGardens🐨]

wonderful

[Kathy A]

Exactly what I was thinking @onewing

Thank you so much everyone- I love the way this shot came out. The sky was actually a lighter blue but I couldn't seem to get the camera to accept that- but this deeper blue really brings out the texture of the moon. As some of you noted it's really interesting to see how differently we see the moon from one hemisphere to the other- thanks to 365 we really do get to enjoy the best of both worlds!

Thank you so much for all your views, comments and favs! They are truly appreciated!
