Curt Renz shares this beautiful shot of last night’s full moon rising over Arlington Heights. Curt explains:
“Attached is a photo I took yesterday (July 29) evening at 20:33 CDT of the Full Moon rising from Arlington Heights, Illinois. That was 8 minutes after moonrise and 18 minutes after sunset. The Moon’s shape and color were noticeably distorted by atmospheric refraction and Rayleigh scattering at its low altitude. There was a slight haze along the horizon. The lights are from a village baseball field.”
Many thanks to Curt for sharing this with us!
