i've never seen a moon like that - is there an eclipse going on? i like seeing the people watching in the 2nd photo. it establishes a human narrative.

Awww, darn! I was hoping to see a pic taken on the moon. And just out of curiosity, why are all these people wearing sweaters in Hawaii? Must be thin-skinned...

All that aside, neat pic. Would love to hear an explanation.

You know, last night I was driving from Alexandria, MN back to Minneapolis, and the moon came over the trees around midnight and I nearly ran off the road. It was larger than I had ever seen it before and it appeared tilted like it is in your photos (maybe not quite so much). It's sort of disturbing.

It is always perpendicular to the direction where the Sun is in the sky, which has to be somewhere else on the ecliptic. If you saw the crescent Moon shaped like a boat above the horizon, you were probably close to the equator (where the Sun comes straight up), and saw it just before sunrise, with the Sun coming up soon after it

the people are watching the ozone layer, there are ozonians all over the world and they're job is to watch the holes in the ozone layer because of the fart zone above the ozone layer, and you know what happens when there is a hole in the ozone layer, the fart zone comes through it.
