The Northern Virginia Astronomy Club hosted a well-attended observing night at C.M. Crockett Park in Midland, Virginia on Saturday under clear skies revealing many deep-sky objects, the planet Saturn, and the Milky Way appearing as a colorful haze directly overhead as the First Quarter Moon dipped below the horizon. #NOVAC #CrockettPark #Midland #Virginia #UnderneathTheStars #NightSky #Astronomy
A Full Strawberry Moon crossed the night sky over Virginia this morning in the constellation Scorpius, dodging some thick clouds and rapidly dipping below the horizon with the red supergiant Antares as the Sun rose in the east. The Moon can appear to have the surface marks of fruit seeds when viewing through a red filter. #FullStrawberryMoon #StrawberryMoon #FullMoon #Moon #NightSky #Astronomy
