Super Blue Moon over Runswick Bay Headland
Last night I had walk up the the cliff top facing south over Runswick Bay, this was an ideal place I thought to capture the Super Blue Moon.
I anxiously waited as it was to officially rise at 20:17pm, It eventually appeared over the headland around 8:31pm. I was very impressed as firstly the top of the moon showed with an intense red then eventually to what you see here.
A Super Blue Moon is not blue, so anyone hoping to see the Moon tinged the colour blue will be disappointed. The name of the Moon has nothing to do with colour but instead is so called because it does not fall in the usual scheme of named moons, the Moon is near the closest point in its orbit around Earth. The next time a super blue moon will appear is in 2037.
