Wow, did anyone see the moon as it came up tonight. I was out bustin' Mishref track with the mutt and it was hanging really low with this amazing colour. It also seemed really big. The view I saw was of it hanging between two minarets of a mosque. I haven't seen such a good moon for ages, unfortunately I didn't have my phone or I'd have taken a picture (This one's from google).
According to Nasa's website it was a lunar eclipse on Wednesday 27th Oct which can cause the red colour (apparently it's actually the Earth's shadow) but I can't find much about why it still looked red. As it got higher in the sky it became more milky coloured.
Fantastic I say, Mother Nature has so many fab things to see, they never fail to amaze me!
