West Coast Super Blood Moon Blogging

Fight disinformation: Sign up for the free Mother Jones Daily newsletter and follow the news that matters.


You didn’t think I’d just ignore this, did you? Of course not. So here’s my contribution to super blood moon blogging. This was taken at 8:24 pm, just as the moon was starting to come out of full eclipse. Luckily, all our cloud cover was to the west, and the east was nice and clear. The exposure apparently tested the outside limits of my little catblogging camera, and the color shifted considerably from shot to shot—sometimes red, sometimes a sort of orangey rust, sometimes a bit purplish. That’s what you get with a cheap camera and residential streets, I guess. Enjoy.

Fact:

Mother Jones was founded as a nonprofit in 1976 because we knew corporations and billionaires wouldn't fund the type of hard-hitting journalism we set out to do.
