So last night saw the last ‘Blue Moon‘ until 2037. This of course got me standing out in the dark pointing my camera and rather large lens at the moon. So here we are – the last Blue Moon for more than a decade. Exciting isn’t it. If you are wondering why it is not blue well that is because a blue moon isn’t blue but rather it is the 13th full moon of the year which is rather rare.

The moon really is a wonderful object but it is almost unmeasurably tiny, as is the earth, when viewed against the infinite (almost?) size of the cosmos.

The only time I was able to capture a ‘blue’ moon was when clouds and contrails drifted across the sky and the light reflect from the moon was refracted through them.
