The Night Sky

January and March this year will be two of the few months when there will be a "Blue Moon".
A Blue Moon isn't actually blue of course it's just when you have two Full Moons in the same calendar month.
This is a timelapse video of it.


A few nights earlier was also exceptionally clear and I took this long exposure of Orion

The Red Giant Betelgeuse is the visibly red star on the left side half way up the picture and is so massive it would not fit inside Jupiter's orbit. It's light takes 640 years to get to us....

Cheers
