Blue aura around the moon
Blue aura around the moon
Can't recall seeing this before, but just went out closing shutters etc befor retiring, looked up at the moon and there's a beautiful blue aura around it. Sadly my iPad is not up to capturing it, totally lost. My camera hasn't been used for donkeys years so by the time I charge it both the moon and the aura will have disappeared!! Shame, as its beautiful, no idea what's causing it.

Think it is ice in the atmosphere surrounding the moon. Please correct me if I am wrong.

I've no idea Stelios, but ice in the temperatures the world is experiencing at the moment??

Perhaps something to do with the partial eclipse, which will happen tonight...smudger wrote: ↑Mon Jul 15, 2019 11:20 pm Can't recall seeing this before, but just went out closing shutters etc befor retiring, looked up at the moon and there's a beautiful blue aura around it.

It's caused by ice crystals in the Earth's atmosphere.STELIOSBWFC wrote: ↑Mon Jul 15, 2019 11:45 pm Think it is ice in the atmosphere surrounding the moon. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Re: Blue aura around the moon
Just off to bed, watching the final news of the night which mentioned the eclipse. Popped out on to patio and there it was. Just love this stuff. Awesome! Sorry, no technology capable of filming it, but loads on tv!!
