We went out with our grandson this week to catch a glimpse of Tsuchinshan-Atlas. He of the unpronounceable name is a comet, the third brightest in the last 100 years I read. Unfortunately it was cloudy towards the west where it is to be seen (next to the evening star, Venus). But we turned around (and drove a couple of kilometers to get to the other side of the hill we where standing upon) and got to see the supermoon. This phenomenon appears when the moon is the closest to the earth with about 356,500 km. Since this is Weekend Sky I’m showing the moon in the sky including clouds but I will show a moon-centred photo tomorrow.
I find it amazing that anything that far away can be seen by me and photographed on my rather simple bridge camera.

Thank you. It was the consolation prize but probably better photos from the moon than what I’ve could have gotten from the comet.

Lovely Elke. I have had clouds every night for about two weeks now and haven’t seen a moon 🥲

I also saw this supermoon but was unable to capture it because I was still tackling workload.

It’s not that uncommon (not like the comet) so I’m sure you’ll get another chance.

0 comet count for me, so far.

I stood next to people who saw Halley’ comet in 1986. Unfortunately, my broken glasses were at the bottom of a backpack and I just believed them.
