Supermoon melancholia

Supermoon as seen on 23 June 2013 in Strasbourg, France (next to the European Parliament building)

Everybody talking about Supermoon, so I managed to get this photo before it drifted in the clouds. Here are some interesting facts about the moon:
• February is the only month of the year which can have no full moon. The last such February was in 1866.
• The surface of the Moon has about the same area as the continent of Africa.
• A lunar halo very often precedes precipitation by about 24 hours.
• Footprints left on the Moon by Apollo astronauts will remain visible for at least 10 million years because there is no erosion on the Moon.
• The July full Moon is a better opportunity for taking photographs, as the Moon rises about 9 minutes after sunset.

As for today’s music, I invite you to experience a piece of Wagner from Tristan und Isolde. Keep your eye on the moon and don’t forget to share and like the post!
