Thunder Moon!

The July Full Moon isn’t due until Friday, but it was so bright this morning (1am) that I couldn’t resist a blip  -  and, anyway, who knows what the sky will be like on Friday☺  Interestingly the 21st century's longest lunar eclipse is happening on Friday. The total lunar eclipse – when the moon passes behind Earth and into its shadow – will last one hour and 43 minutes over July 27 and 28. I’m not sure, but I don’t think we’ll see it in the UK.  The details can be seen HERE!  The Native American Indians called the July Full Moon the Thunder Moon because of the thunderstorms that occurred around that time  -  it would be great if we had a few thunderstorm too  -  we need the rain!
