the full moon + the summer solstice = a honey amber coloured moon
this has not happened since 1948 ~ so everybody go out tonight June 20, 2016 & howl at the moon or at minimum say קידוש לבנה since it's the last night

I saw it tonight- not the most amber-colored I've seen it, but definitely yellowish when it was still near the horizon. Thanks for the neat info!

to continue the story of the full moon ... this week I went on the beach to watch the sunset as well as the full moon rise ... all whilst listening to the high tides splash it's waves onto the dark wet sand
it was a stunning crimson colour as it rose by the horizons edge & slowly turned lighter and lighter orange to yellow as it rose higher and higher ~ WOW just wow

time for that full moon for tu b'av ... gotta tell you it was different this month ... light pink as it rose to it's glory of bright yellow fullness
I am learning so much about the moon ... it varies way more than we notice - from rising times [changes like 40 minutes later each day even rises in the daytime], to azimuth and elevation degrees [last night was 102.51°] where it rises, to height to colour

november will have a 'supermoon' and so when you view the full moon tonight ... or watch it rise upon the horizon know that it will be closer to the earth & larger & brighter view than usual ...

so I'm continuing my moon watching escapades
last night was a kool summer breeze ... but the moon rise was too soon before sunset & it was too cloudy
tonight is the night moonrise with a full moon rising 115°east/southeast at 9:20 pm cleveland time
if you're in brooklyn sunset on the beach is 8:28 & moonrise 8:46 pm perfect for a romantic walk on the beach overlooking the ocean with clear skies [it's okay to love yourself & enjoy god's gift of nature]

I'm happy to join your lunacy. It's been beautiful here at night and I live in an area with little light pollution so I get to see the Milky Way with some ease.

'twas a truly beautiful blood orange ... not as bright crimson or close as last year ... but full & wonderful next to the high tide with my feet in the water ... as close to heaven as I can get on earth & believe it or not you can see the stars over the beach in brooklyn [the trick is to walk far away from the buildings & city lights and turn away]

I've seen ads for a viewing in Missouri with zemanim aficionado Rabbi Dovid Heber of Baltimore.

the answer is a definitive yes ... a lake has tides but not everywhere & not all seasons & not quite as high as an ocean
which is precisely why I love the ocean - it's ALIVE !!! [& the full moon has a higher tide]
yes I'm on the east coast vs the north

We're driving one of the kids to college that day. Should be interesting. Only a partial eclipse there, though.

I am in the path of totality. It's likely I'll set the alarm, go out and have coffee in the unfenced yard which comes with the best views. I will avoid town at all costs that week. Hotels are booked, parking spaces are rented and there are immense amounts of emergency planning taking place. It's estimated that my town of 50k (when students are present) will be hosting close to 250k people. There are serious questions as to whether our sewage treatment facility can handle the outflow of the influx.
