There's a full moon, low in the eastern sky, directly opposite the setting sun. It's very dramatic looking.

The full moon has just risen. It looks enormous.
It is at an altitude of only 6 degrees.

I have this adaptor so I can connect my iPhone to my telescope, however the clamps are positioned exactly where the side buttons are on the phone so every time I tighten them the phone either goes to video mode or rings the emergency services which I see as a bit of a problem. Alterations will be made tomorrow with a hacksaw and a very large file. I did manage this, hand held so not really sharp.

You can practically see Neal Armstrong's footprints.

Apparently, there's going to be a lunar eclipse tomorrow.

Not visible from the UK though. One in November will be, only just though. Partial Solar eclipse will be visible in the UK on June 10th.

I love partial solar eclipses, there's always one coming along just when you've forgotten about them.

The moon was bright orange last night, as it set.
It was the orangiest I've ever seen it.

It made it look like a blazing fire in the sky.
