Today”s Astronomy Picture Of The Day was taken last thursday in
Huddersfield, England. The moon was in eclipse, and setting at the same time, so the curvature of the Earth magnified it.
There’s also an excellent montage of time-lapse shots, so you can see it setting behind that cool house.
Awesome. I am using it for my background. To think we saw the same moon in the US but it was just big and orange. Friday morning it set really orange too.
This is probably waaaaaaaaaay out there, but I knew a Topher waaaaaaaaaay back in the day in Lansing…any chance you would’ve dated a girl that went to Lansing Christian (in MI) waaaaaaaaaay back in the day? Like the 90’s?
If not, then well….um…sorry. 🙂
I do like the pic though.
I’m really not a random blogger-looker..I saw that you posted on Amelia’s blog and I know her from Cornerstone U.
Now, I’d be happy to be proven wrong on this, and I’m certainly not the astronomy buff in the room, but …
I’m pretty sure the moon isn’t magnified, it’s always the same size and just looks bigger when we have foreground to compare it to.
