Tonight’s #supermoon is at its fullest
It is near its closest point to Earth in its monthly orbit & seem bigger & brighter than usual
April’s full moon is also known as the Pink Moon, as its appearance coincides with the flowering of a type of pink moss.

Astrophotographer, Andrew McCarthy, used 50,000 photos to produce this detailed image of the Moon.
The near side of the Moon is marked by dark volcanic maria ("seas"), which fill the spaces between bright ancient crustal highlands & prominent impact craters. (pic @Mario_Livio)

“By thy pale beams I solitary rove
To thee my tender grief confide Serenely sweet you gild the silent grove
My friend, my goddess, & my guide.”
The view from my neighbour’s telescope on #CovidMemorialDay
The moon was in its waxing gibbous phase
The Sea of Tranquility is clear.
To thee my tender grief confide Serenely sweet you gild the silent grove
My friend, my goddess, & my guide.”
