The Moon with Venus, Tonight.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

I had heard that these two would be close together tonight just before sunset, and when I went outside, there they were.

Hope you enjoy!

1. Oh, Peggy!

That is lovely!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. Thank you so much, Cracklin Charlie!

Very kind of you.

[BigmanPigman]

3. Wow...very nice indeed!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. I appreciate your kind comments, dear BigmanPigman!

5. Too bad CA won't be able to see the blood moon.

I bet you would be able to capture it well. I tried with my crummy tablet camera and it turned out so small and dark it was worthless. With the naked eye it was really cool and I had hoped to capture some of that. Oh well.

6. When is that happening? I might be able to get a photo.

7. North America isn't going to get a good view.

The longest total lunar eclipse of the 21st century is just a month away.

The total phase of the "blood moon" eclipse of July 27 will last 1 hour and 43 minutes, during which Earth's natural satellite will turn a spectacular red or ruddy-brown color. From start to finish, the entire celestial event will last nearly 4 hours.

The eclipse won't be visible to viewers in North America, except via webcasts.

8. Ah, well...guess I won't be photographing it! Such is life.

Thanks for the info!

9. Sorry. Have a nice evening though.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. Thanks! Sleep well.

11. It was amazing!

12. Very nice!

13. Wow!

Simply fantastic. I have to get the camera back out again and start taking some pics. Picked up the Tamron 18-400 a few months ago when there was a little bit of a sale and really haven't been out with it. Started some volunteer work with a local historical group and my other hobbies have taken up more time of late.

14. Thanks for sharing!

I saw this in the sky earlier while walking my dog but didn’t have a camera on me. By the time we were done it was out of view. I thought I’d imagined it.
