The moon was at it again last night

And the EVG Moon Correspondents were there to capture the, uh, moon … the first two photos are via Bobby Williams after 4 a.m. …



… and a more upclose and personal shot via Grant Shaffer…



And tonight!

On Tuesday evening (May 13), as the moon, just one night from full phase rises in the east-southeast sky it will be accompanied by a very bright yellowish-white "star" shining off to its lower left. That "star" will be the planet Saturn.

And now, photos of the moon showing off last night

"As darkness falls on May 11, 2014, the bright waxing gibbous moon shines in between the planet Mars and Spica, the brightest star in the constellation Virgo." Dunno about Mars and Spica, but here's the moon …

How was your lunar eclipse?

Bobby Williams caught some of the lunar eclipse late last night/early this morning from his East Village perch.

The first two photos are from 1:30 a.m. …



… and the last shot was at 2:30 a.m.



As we cut-n-paste from CNN:

In a total lunar eclipse, the full moon turns a coppery red as it passes into Earth's shadow. During the process, the moon's bright glow dims, taking on a red hue because of shimmers of sunlight and sunsets seeping through the Earth's atmosphere.

Apparently clouds obscured the blood moon part of it on the East Coast … otherwise, this would have been the projection…

Sunday's sorta supermoon

On Saturday, the moon came as close to Earth as it will all year. Allegedly. I cut-n-paste this from somewhere: the supermoon was 14 percent closer to Earth and 30 percent brighter than when at its farthest point.

But Saturday evening's overcast skies didn't make for very good viewing.

Still, last night's moon wasn't any slouch.

Shooting the moon

Bobby Williams took these last night...

If you look closely enough at the detail of this last photo, you can see the moon's new 7-Eleven...

And tonight – SUPERMOON!

[Updated] Moon shots

So last night's full moon was the largest and brightest seen in 19 years, appearing 14 percent bigger and shining 30 percent more brightly than usual, according to the article that I cut-n-paste that from.

How big was it? Here are a few photos ...
