I was leaving my brother's house around 11:30pm Saturday night and quickly took notice of the colored moon. I would describe the color I saw as a medium amber. What amazed me was the moons altitude. I can't remember ever seeing a colored moon so high in the sky. Where are these fires? Dave On Tuesday, August 3, 2004, at 08:46 AM, Chuck Hards wrote:
Saturday night I went out to gaze at the moon and relax for a little bit. On my way to the yard I recalled all the "blue moon" hype and had to chuckle at "much ado about nothing"...
Imagine my surprise when I looked up at a salmon-pink full moon!
Apparently there was enough smoke in the air from local forest & brush fires to significantly tint the moon. Did anyone else in the area notice the tint?
