Explanation:
Rising at sunset, the gorgeous Full Moon of August 31 became the second Full
Moon in a month. According to modern reckoning, that makes it a Blue Moon. In
fact, parts of the Full Moon do look a little blue in this sharp lunar
portrait. Taken just hours before the exact full phase in delightfully clear
skies over Nottingham, UK, it features eye-catching bright rays extending from
the prominent young crater Tycho in the Moon's southern hemisphere. The
slightly color enhanced image also brings out subtle shades of blue, a real
characteristic of terrain with a high content of titanium oxide and iron. The
blue lunar terrain on the right includes the dark flat expanse of the Sea of
Tranquility and the Apollo 11 landing site.
