| “Blue
Moon” Photos Requested
We’ve posted several sky photos
of a blue orb encircled by other orbs.
When we showed one of those photos of
this “blue moon” phenomenon
to a retired NASA scientist
with expertise in optics, he said it couldn’t
be dismissed as a camera optical effect.
Photo
#15 which was taken on April 5, 2009
with a simple Canon digital camera shows
this phenomenon. Now we’re looking
for people with more advanced cameras
to attempt to get better photos of this
phenomenon.
Here is how the “blue moon”
photos were taken: On a clear
day, the camera was set on zoom and aimed
directly at the midday Sun. With the camera
held as steady as possible, the photographer
took a rapid sequence of at least 10-12
photos. From one moment to the next, the
“blue moon” changed in size
or in distance from the Sun, but the orbs
around it were not usually captured.
If anyone gets a better photo of the
“blue moon” encircled with
orbs, we would like to post it on this
website for others to see. Please make
note of the time, date, location and type
of camera used. Of course, we will give
you full credit (if you wish). |
