A Colorful Quandary: Why Is the Super Blue Moon Yellow?
Blue Moon and Super Moon August 30 [Photos taken by Eureka High School student Dru Curtice through a telescope]
A Super Moon occurs when the full moon coincides with its perigee, which is the point in its orbit where it’s closest to Earth. This proximity can make the moon appear slightly larger and brighter in the night sky compared to a typical full moon. The term is now often used to describe full moons that are at or near their closest approach to Earth.
So, the August 2023 Super Blue Moon was two celestial events in one: it was the second full moon of the month (the Blue Moon), and it occurred when the moon was exceptionally close to Earth (the Super Moon).

So weird I have looked at the moon my whole life. Then I heard about the flat earth theory. It looks like it’s on a track like a record. Maybe a burnt out sun. Who knows but it looks like it gives off it’s own light… Crazyville right?

Well, thanks that throwed me deep down the rabbit hole. They say the earth is a giant battery, the bankers figured this out long ago making us all little batterys.
I ask all flat earthers this question and none of them can answer. You guys say there is an ice wall surrounding the earth to keep the water from going off, how would you know that unless you saw or, and if they saw it why not document it? flat earth is the stupidest of conspiracy theories because it is the easiest to prove, all you have to do is go to the edge and document it. Sorry you do not have the basic intellect to understand science, but they can prove the earth is round, just because you do not understand basic science does not mean it is wrong, all flat earthier can say is it looks flat so it must be, the logic of a first grader. Why has no flat earther shown the edge, when it is so easy to go find it?
Too much conspiracy required to keep up the facade of the Flat Earth idea! You’d have to get all the pilots, all the ship captains, all the satellite techs, weather forecasters, geologists, teachers,…about half the population to be in on the scheme to trick the other half… And bankers? That’s the one nonsense profession that can exist removed from actual reality.
We know that if you have two people or more, there are no secrets.
Ok then let’s examine motive…
In a way, if we examine a sphere, zooming in to the surface to approach an infinitely small point, we notice that wherever we are, the surface IS perpendicular to the radius. Thus essentially flat at any given point. Practically speaking, gravity pulls you towards the center of the globe in that direction, holding you to the bottom of the globe, by your feet, dangling out over infinite space. So a new agey fellah could go about life, laying out 20,000 SQ ft of pot plants, keeping the man bun up, and the amulet down, paying off the big truck, and the lease, while maintaining the belief that the Earth is flat. It really doesn’t matter to them in life….I mean the GPS taking me to the deal in LA is just MAGIC!
Re motive (IMHE): to keep ppl angsty, angry, and anxious— needy, and greedy— ever looking to external authority (gov’t) and consumer products/ culture (corp) for direction and relief: Unable to stand in individual authority and experience the Self as perfect encapsulation of everything, as Divine spark whose natural state of being is Bliss.
Is it working?
Wait. Are we talking about a round planet, or Capitalism?
It’s all a sales pitch. Price of admission is your ability to trust your own senses, common and un—
In the 11th century I calculated the radius of the Earth, 6,340km, to within 1% of today’s accepted value of 6,371km.
You are very old.
Any news on the convoy activity yesterday in northern mendocino?
Yup. And the Sun was red. Probably time to put it on the USB and recharge when it sets.
It is common knowledge that the moon is made out of yellow cheese…DUH!
I thought it was Swiss cheese..
That theory has holes in it.
We also know that the Moon has been getting smaller, in large part, due to bats (you know, flying mice that come out at night) eating it.
Where we were at, it looked orange when it first came over the horizon, then looked normal when it was higher in the sky.
Nice photo!
However, on rare occasions, tiny particles in the air (smoke or dust) can scatter away red wavelengths of light, causing the Moon to appear blue.
Now I have the song Blue Moon of Kentucky running in my head.
I’ll have to take your word for it; I think I saw a slightly lighter spot in the overcast. The night before, however, was gorgeous.
