Last night's moon was a fully saturated red colour in the suburbs at the Northern edge of Sydney, whilst high in the sky, just like the colour red you would get on a computer monitor. More spectacular than a lunar eclipse, as there was no shadow, and weird in that it was a crescent rather than being full. Of a night you can see the flames shining over the distant horizon. 5th day of summer, 85 to go. "Fun" times ahead.
