Images of Canberra - Bad moon over Dunlop

SB, if that is the case I’m surprised Stanhope hasn’t appropriated the moon as one of his Street Art installations.

GG: waxing the moon is what made it so bright last night after the eclipse…

“Nope, the normal waxing and waning is the position of the sun against the moon, I guess in a sense it’s eclipsing itself, but last night was the earth’s shadow.”

Sorry dude, I was just trying to be a smartarse. It happens sometimes.

Shaving was a chore this morning…

I watched and took pictures last night, but by the time I got outside (about 8:40pm) pretty much of the show was done. (Location Weston Creek, so the eastern hills delayed moonrise for just that much longer.)

Nope, the normal waxing and waning is the position of the sun against the moon, I guess in a sense it’s eclipsing itself, but last night was the earth’s shadow.

Isn’t the waxing and waning of the moon just a very slow cycle of eclipses?

Great shot! 🙂

missed it, dammit; not many windows in emergency wards… 🙁

but yes, post-‘clipse was a very bright orb indeed.

I feel stupid. I saw the moon like that, and didn’t realise it was the elipse.
