BLUE MOON 2012

I want to share my photos of the Blue Moon last night.

 

 

Despite of it's name,

the moon is not blue as some people expect.

It is the second moon in a calendar month
and it happens only once every
2-3 years.

 

To see a blue-colored moon is very rare,

 unusual sky conditions such as certain-sized particles of dust or smoke

can create blue-colored moon.

The last blue-colored moon was when Mt. Pinatubo in the Philippines errupted in 1991.

 

 

And what a tribute to Neil Armstrong,

Blue Moon happened on the day of his Funeral.

 

"Godspeed, Neil Armstrong!"

 

 

 

 

I'm amaze with the shots I took with just using my T3i .Great camera!

Despite the thick clouds I manage to get a few great shots.
