"Super Blue Moon" tonight
« on: August 30, 2023, 05:24:30 PM »
Tonight between sunset-midnight a so-called "Super Blue Moon" should be visible in the sky. It's the closest the moon will be to the Earth until 2037. A  blue moon is so-called not because it's blue, but because it's the second full moon within a month's time. If you have clear skies in your locale, don't miss it!

Thanks for the heads-up! I'll take a look. The weather forecast here is for clear skies until 11:00 pm.
