Down in southern Australia the Easter Weekend bring the full moon, and in this case a blue moon. I shot this with my iPhone which is nowhere good as if I had my DSLR camera with me. But if the sky’s are clear over the next few nights I hopefully get some better images.
Blue moons while not a completely rare event, it’s still pretty special. The next blue moon to light up our skies actually won’t take place until 2020.
The event also marks the end of a pretty significant event in our skies. A “worm moon” graced our skies at the start of the month. This rare parade of planets, including Jupiter, Mars, Saturn, Mercury and Venus along with the bright star Antares, lit the sky from March 7 through March 11th.
The moon will not actually be blue in colour however it could have a blueish tinge to it.
According to scientists we get one full moon in a month but the lunar cycle — the lunar months if you like — are slightly shorter than the solar ones, and so we have an extra moon every now and then
If the sky’s are clear hopefully you get to catch a glimpse of this beautiful moon over the weekend.
Thanks for reading.
