Goodnight, Moon
The second super moon of the year was scheduled to appear Tuesday night. Kingfisher resident Karisa Eaton captured this photo of the nearly full moon earlier in the week. ‘Super moons’ are full moons that are so designated because the moon is full when its orbit is closer to the earth, so it appears larger in the night sky, particularly when it first rises over the horizon. This month’s super moon also is designated as a pink moon, because it will appear to have a pink cast. [Photo by Karisa Eaton via Facebook]
