Full Moon


I'm back to my observations for class, starting with the Full Moon, which, on March 31st was also called the Blue Moon (second full moon in a single month, space.com) or the Full Sap Moon (full moon at the time of year when sap starts to flow in maple trees, almanac.com). I really enjoyed the color of this moon, which I described as similar to that of a yellow-orange light bulb. I caught it when it was low in the eastern sky and it was very neat to see it rise -fairly quickly- up above the house across the street. The rest of the sky was cloudy; luckily, it was just this one spot where the moon was that was clear.  :)
