Supermoon at Sunrise - #SkywatchFriday

Monday, as the supermoon was setting and the sun was starting to dawn, I left for work.  I slammed my front door shut, and about two seconds later, realized I had left my purse in the house.

Fortunately, I had my tote bag, with my lunch, my badge, a book, and necessities for transportation.  But what I didn't have was my phone.

And so I stood there helplessly, and marveled at the sight of the supermoon.  And said "oh no!  This would have been perfect for Skywatch!"

Fortunately, the woman who I call my "guest photographer" was taking some shots that morning.  And, maybe it is against Skywatch rules, but I am using her photos.
I don't know that the moon was bigger, but it was definitely brighter.


My guest photographer lives in the country while I live in a village.
So, thanks to her, you get a couple of bonus shots of dawn in rural upstate New York.

I might just use her wonderful photos again next week, , because...well, I'll tell you that story next week.

Join Yogi and other intrepid watchers of the sky at #SkywatchFriday.  Come watch (and photograph) the sky with us!

  1. I enjoyed this moon, too! right after I had the chance to seek the space shuttle zoom by overhead (a few days earlier).

  4. Did you at least have your keys? Eeek.

    According to Neil Degrasse Tyson, the moon was 1% closer. This does make a bit of a difference, but not much.

  5. It was so bright, I considered getting curtains!
    We live deep in the woods.

  7. I always love looking at the Super Moon. A few times it got pretty large even though I live in a big city.

  9. So glad you used these photos as they are really pretty & for a second I thought your guest photographer lived in rural England as it looked like a foggy morning over the Midlands in these shots!
