First of 3 Supermoons on August 29, 2015...Spectacular

The world saw the first of three supermoons in a row, starting on August 29, and the second one will be on September 27, and finally the third on October 27.

First of 3 Supermoons on August 29, 2015...Spectacular

The moon was officially full at 6:26 p.m. on the night of August 29, just 30 minutes before the moon rose that night around 7 p.m.

The scientific name for the phenomenon is called “perigee moon,” which refers to the path the moon follows around Earth. Because of this path, the moon was a little closer to earth on that night than average for a full moon. This means the moon appeared to be a little bigger than the norm.

While driving home I noticed the full moon and it looked like it was in the foothills where I live. When I got home 30 minutes later, it was still there.

I hurried and got my camera out to take some photos. It looked like it so close and beautiful with all the cracks and crevises. Even after the clouds came in, it was still spectacular.

I am anxiously awaiting the next SuperMoon.

Oh that first picture is amazing. I will have to remember that. Your pictures blow mine away. Nice work. How did you take them. I've got a tripod I hope to borrow for the next super moon. It's also a lunar eclipse.

Hi Debbie Laity

Yes, the next one in September shall be the best and not another one like it until 2033. I take the pictures through trees, get down on the ground and shoot up and out. I usually have to take 30-40 pics to get 3-4 and sometimes none of the crevices show and that makes me sad. I loved the first one myself. Thanks.

Thanks Kristin!

I missed the first one, I will have to put the others on my calendar so that I wont miss them. I should be camped out for one so more likely to notice.

Hi Bob Crane

I might have missed it if not for the fact I had to drive to one of my client's house at 6:30 pm so when I saw it against the blue sky, I knew right away it was a supermoon. The radio announcer was talking about it right then too as he must have been looking out a window at the studio. If I had not gone out, I might have missed it!

Hi Women of Westchester Working Together

Yes it was truly spectacular and I had to take many photos to get a couple of good ones. I really like shooting through the trees.

Great photos! I was looking forward to seeing it but the cloud cover in the area where I was in Oakland at the time didn't cooperate. Maybe the next one

Hi Jeff Dowler CRS

I have been disappointed so many times when I wanted to see the meteor lights and would get up at 4:00 am and find it cloudy so I know how frustrating it is when the weather doesn't cooperate. Next month you get another chance!

The moons have been breathtaking these last few nights Kristin-skies have been beautiful and I have enjoyed sitting out on my deck, despite the heat, just to see its glow!
