Waxing Gibbous moon at sunset

As the sun went down in the Rocky Mountains this past Saturday, the moon was brilliantly lit and some light, whispy clouds flew between it and the surface of the Earth.  There will be lots of talk this week about Wednesday’s full lunar eclipse, the second in a series of four in a row for the U.S.  You can learn more about this week’s big celestial event here: http://1.usa.gov/ZNyLNO
