Once in a Blue Moon, Supermoon

May 7, 2012

If it was possible, I would lay somewhere and do stargazing. I feel calm and happy whenever I see a lot of stars in the sky. This goes the same when I see a full moon, especially when a supermoon or it has an orange color.

A supermoon is the coincidence of a full moon (or a new moon) with the closest approach the moon makes to the Earth. I know this is kinda late but here are some wonderful photos of the supermoon last May 5 from Yahoo!.

    1. True! Again, credits to those who took this.

      I would have posted one that I took, sadly my point and shoot camera doesn’t fit the bill to capture the beauty at its best :3
