I was watching the races at Pakenham early this evening and the cameras caught an amazing shot of the full, yellow/orange moon near the horizon. It looks enormous when it is that close to the horizon, especially if it is framed by buildings. I grabbed my eldest daughter (she's 13 and has a love of seeing the moon and the planets too) and we ducked out to a nearby bluff to check it out. Beautiful sight.
Unfortunately, none of my photos came out well, but I was watching the footy tonight and the far more powerful cameras there zoomed up on the moon and gave us a few shots. In the west it didn't have the yellow glow it has tonight in Victoria, but it was still worthy of showing, so I took a screenshot and have included below.
So, enjoy the close up shot of our beautiful spheroid satellite.
