LOOK AT THE FULL MOON . . .

I saw that last night also, took two digitals don’t know how they look, will check out later, first photo was hand held, second I rested the camera on the gas grill.

Mrs. LVD got my attention, she said the moon is shining so bright that the laundry room is lit up. I stepped into the room and looked at the moon, saw what I thought was a star at the 4 o’clock position, went out side to confirm the light was not a reflection of the glass, saw the object went to get the camera took the photos, went back in to get the 16 x 60 binoculars, again looked but just briefly. Awful bright for a star, especially with a full moon, interesting! Anyone confirm what it was??

Mars. Confirmed by an observatory.

Ben Lurkin did yeoman’s work in verifying after wisely asserting that was likely what it was.
