Look out your window now!!! THE MOON IS RED IN COLOUR!!!

Okay, I know this probably isn’t the first time, but I’ve never seen the moon any colour other than what it’s supposed to be, so it is pretty damn amazing to me!!

[OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG RED MOOOOOON~~]

I swear this isn’t photoshopped. I didn’t even adjust the brightness and contrast. This is totally wholesale from my camera (after cropping off the edges).

This is the uncropped and size-reduced version to fit into my blog:

[OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG RED MOOOOOON~~]

The lights below the moon are lights from ships.

When we first discovered it, it was kind of hiding behind some clouds and it looked somewhat smaller, but no less amazing.

[OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG RED MOOOOOON~~]

It slowly moved out of the clouds.

[OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG RED MOOOOOON~~]

And then there it stood in full red glory!

[OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG RED MOOOOOON~~]

Hmm… it’s starting to get more and more orange, heading towards yellow as I’m typing this.

Hurry catch it before it’s gone!

==================================================

UPDATE — ONE HOUR AFTER DISCOVERY OF RED MOON:

It’s not red anymore. I think the moon was red for only about half an hour or so?

[Normal moon]

You can see how high it’s gone now. And the colour has reverted to normal.

Oh, well. No armageddon.

Jesta wrote a comment on Thu, 22 May 2008

It was yellow when I noticed it, which probably means more air pollution from Indonesia than End Times from Hell…

Hi there, I think it is called a ‘Blood Moon’.

Steffi wrote a comment on Thu, 22 May 2008

OMG, I’ve never seen one before…and I thought the red moon in Yami no Matsuei (manga/anime) was fictional…

Blood Moon (Enchantment, 2R)
Non-basic lands are mountains.

Armageddon (Sorcery, 3R)
Destroys all lands.

Yep, got difference.

Hmmmm… that should be:

Armageddon (Sorcery, 2W)

OMG… I can’t type today… 3W

Beautiful shots. But if it is Armageddon, then I think you should hurry up and follow your heart…

Mystika!! The red moon is caused by pollutants in the atmosphere that only allows the red-spectrum of light to pass thru.

When I was working in Bangkok, occassionally, I do see the red sun during sunsets. Its beautiful. But was told that it was due to the polluted air in horizon that filtered off rest of the colour.

Thought lunar eclipses happen pretty often though. Much more than any type of solar eclipse at any rate…

Grats on catching the phenomenon. I caught it I think once, and dismissed it as rain clouds and went to sleep. But that was prob because it was nowhere near this brilliant shade of red.

The moon was having it’s “time of the month” (Pun intended)

Jesta wrote a comment on Sat, 31 May 2008

It has occurred to me that there is an old saying: Red sky at night, shepherd’s delight. I wonder if it applies to the moon too…
