Did anyone catch the Super Blue Moon last night? Here is the photo I captured with my cell phone. It was gorgeous and all bright in it's glowing glory. I had messaged my daughters to take the kids out to see the Super Blue Moon. One messaged me back and said that they didn't see any BLUE! I told her that they were not supposed to!! That just means that there is more than one full moon this month. She said, "OH!" Did you see it? Did you get a photo? If so, post it in comments below!! P.S. I will have to edit this photo again.

That was about the only angle I could get a photo of it with all the trees here!

I did catch the moon the last couple of nights. I love to watch the moon dancing into and out of clouds. I watch from my front porch,

I saw a little something last night out the window. Didn't think much about it.

I have seen it when I got up at 2 this morning for a visit to the bathroom. It was still high in the sky when I got up at 5:30. The name "blue moon" does not refer to the moon's color and this one is the only "blue moon" of the year (only when there are 2 full moons during the same month the second is called "blue moon".)

Right!! I had to explain that to my daughter! We have one month coming up with 3 full moons I heard. I need to find out when that occurs and what is the third full moon called? I don't remember having 3 full moons in one month ever!!

@kareng I think that 3 full moon in one month it is not possible, as the moon cycle is 28 days. I just checked and I found no mention of 3 full moon happening in one month.

@LadyDuck I saw that in some article I was reading. I wish I had stopped and checked it out better. Now I don't remember where I saw it at. I thought it was odd!

I missed it, but over here I'm told it was a red moon caused by the fine ash from the fires in the US and Canada carried by the jet stream

Well it is called a blue moon because it is the second full moon of the month. It wasn't blue at all.

@kareng I think they used to call them a hunter's moon over here, a long while back

Neat pic, I wanted to look for it, but wasn't sure what day it was. I thought the weatherman would tell me. He usually mentions astro phenomenon, but I didn't hear him say anything.

That's a beautiful picture. It was full moon on Monday and we saw the gorgeous moon. Yesterday, it was raining as soon as it got dark. So, no moon or stars. We enjoyed the rain falling on the terrace

Well, the term Blue Moon does not refer to the color of the moon. It's called a Blue Moon because it is the second full moon in the same month.

I did see the Super Blue Moon! It was amazing. I had a couple of my friends who live along the Atlantic coast take photos of the full moon rising above the ocean, and I will say that some of them got some amazing shots. It's nice that our phone cameras are finally starting to be able to capture the glory we see with our own eyes!
