Saturn is near the closest she gets to earth....tonight she is around 814 million miles away. She can get as close as 760 million miles but can be as far away as 1 billion miles...

Took a drive to see the Blue Moon, got home and cracked open a mid-week Blue Moon to celebrate.

Don't normally drink during the week but hey... Only gonna happen once every blue moon...

I can sort of see the fabled Super blue moon...peeking slightly through the clouds and marine layer. (in reality, it's just a spot in the clouds that looks brighter than the rest.)

Wonderful picture. Where are you located/where was this taken?

Sounds about right lol. Took a nice picture with my phone of the sunset yesterday while out for a walk, well, it looked nice in person. On the picture it's just a little dot in the sky.

I learned that there is to be a solar eclipse in October. Apparently, I was the last to know as hotels along the path of totality are booked solid for the weekend of the eclipse.

Yeah, I started my hotel search in Monument Valley and worked my way northwest and southeast. I might be camping on BLM. I don't care how cool the eclipse is; I am not going to Odessa.
