Colors of the Moon Image Credit & Copyright: Marcella Giulia Pace

Explanation: What color is the Moon? It depends on the night. Outside of the Earth’s atmosphere, the dark Moon, which shines by reflected sunlight, appears a magnificently brown-tinged gray. Viewed from inside the Earth’s atmosphere, though, the moon can appear quite different. The featured image highlights a collection of apparent colors of the full moon documented by one astrophotographer over 10 years from different locations across Italy. A red or yellow colored moon usually indicates a moon seen near the horizon. There, some of the blue light has been scattered away by a long path through the Earth’s atmosphere, sometimes laden with fine dust. A blue-colored moon is more rare and can indicate a moon seen through an atmosphere carrying larger dust particles. What created the purple moon is unclear – it may be a combination of several effects. The last image captures the total lunar eclipse of 2018 July – where the moon, in Earth’s shadow, appeared a faint red – due to light refracted through air around the Earth. Today there is not only another full moon but a total lunar eclipse visible to observers in North and South America – an occurrence that may lead to some unexpected lunar colorings.

This is Haley’s Coronet! 👑👑👑

The interaction between the larger spiral galaxy and its dwarf galaxy have created plumes of dust around the duo. The process of the larger galaxy eating the smaller one is actually called galactic cannibalism (spooky)! 👻👻👻

This is the Waxing Gibbous Moon! 🌔🌔🌔

Yesterday, October 16th, was International Observe the Moon Night, which meant that Slooh’s telescopes were pointed at the beautiful Moon! Check out more resources to celebrate this exciting day here: https://www.space.com/international-observe-the-moon-night-2021 🤩🤩🤩

My favorite bird - it’s so cute!! 😍😍😍

We have a lady killdeer who nests in my work parking lot every year and I love her so much. 

One of the most difficult collections ever: the Caldwell object collection! ♥♥♥

Taking around 6 months to complete, this was one of the longest collections ever! Many of these objects could be photographed during specific times of the year so I often had to wait months before I could take a picture. 🎇🎆🌌✨💫
