My Super Strange and Unexplainable After-Super Blue Blood Moon Experience

in photography •  7 years ago 

I'm a skywatcher and I always admired the sky and see what is happening above there, but this time I missed the rare celestial event we had, The Super Blue Blood Moon. The last time we had this according to news was 152 years ago.

Anyway, let me tell you my experience. As I said, I missed the event for I'm charging my cellphone. I woke up at 2:55 A.M. ( February 1, 2018 here in the Philippines) just to pee and to remove all electrical chords that I left on its plug. Then I noticed the shining moonlight that passes our opened door. So what I did is, I took my phone and went outside and took picture of the moon.

I zoomed in my phone camera to its maximum size so I can captured a bigger picture of the moon, and this is what I got.

I noticed that there was another bright white circle near the moon in the captured picture, so I looked up in the sky and saw only the moon.

I was confused, so what I did is to capture picture of the moon again and saw that the other bright white circle was still there, but now in the picture, that other white bright circle was besides the moon. So I looked up in the sky again and still I only saw the moon.

I took another picture, and the other bright white circle was still there, only now it moves its place.

My third picture made me wonder, so I took again a picture of the moon, but this time instead of that other white bright circle that I saw before, another strange light appeared. This time, a bright line of light passed through the moon. And when I checked the moon, there is no bright line there, its only the bright moon.

The last picture left me in wonder again, so I took again a picture of it, and now, not only the bright line of light was there, but also the other bright white circle too. And when I looked up again at the sky, it was only the moon that I saw and nothing else except for the few dim stars that were scattered all over the sky.

Then I lessen my camera resolution and I tried to captured the moon from a far distance. But then again, the bright line and the other bright white circle still appeared in the picture and when I looked up again at the sky, it was only the moon that I saw.

I once again took the picture, and still the outcome was the same. And I noticed that in the picture the other bright white circle changed its place. And like what I did before, I looked up again in the sky and I saw only the moon.

At 3:00 A.M. I took my last photo, moved a little from where I used to stand, moved the angle of how I used to handled the phone and this is what I got. Still the white bright circle and the line light was part of the picture and in reality it was only the moon is there. Then I decided to take few interval minutes of taking pictures.

At 3:06 A.M. I went out again and went to the same place where I stand taking pictures, zoomed in my phone camera to its maximum resolution and again the result was still the same, the bright line and the bright white circle was still there. This really perplexed me, for in reality it was only the moon is there.

Again I took the picture, same result, but the white bright circle changed its position.

I returned back the camera resolution to its original size and took photo of the moon again, but still same result, the white bright circle and the line light was there but in reality it was only the moon is there.

IMG_20180201_030325.jpg
Last photo I took, still same result, only that the white bright circle changed again its position and in reality I only saw the moon in the sky.

This is too much to think so I decided to stopped taking pictures. This strange and mind boggling experience of taking pictures kept me awake till the break of dawn. LOL

That's all folks! Thank you for reading!

That is strange, its almost as if something was flying around the moon... You captured some fantastic shots though! :D

That is what I thought too Ms. Deb, something or an orb is flying around the moon but it only shows in the picture and not in actual. How's that possible, that's my question. ;) Thank you for the complement!

@puropoi I would suggest experimenting more taking similar shots of the moon and other bright lights to see if there's any chance you can re-create the effect.

Thank you for the suggestion, I might try that next time that I woke up wee hours in the morning and if there's a moon. ;)

Could it be a satellite in orbit that's not visible to the naked eye but your camera lens picked up? Sometimes that happens.

I really don't know if it was, for I only used sa cellphone camera with those pictures.

Well, one thing is for sure.. it's not lens flare.. Lol!

Yes I think so. ;)

I forgot to go look outside for the moon. I had to work super late last night. I'm glad you got to check it out. Looks like the moon had a baby!

Haha a restless baby moon!

Yes! Following mama moon everywhere!

nice capture poi...

salamat po sir. ;)
