First 2 photos were taken at 4 o'clock - lovely blue sky but the Moon really shone out.
Last 2 photos later during the evening & night. Great detail; and you can easily see the rotation.
This is building up to the...
!!! SUPER BLUE BLOOD MOON !!!
...on January 31st - first time since 1982!
1 - Supermoon - when it's closest to the Earth; looks very big and bright.
2 - Blood Moon (lunar eclipse) - when the Earth goes between the Sun and the Moon; the Moon looks red because of how the light goes through the atmosphere.
3 - Blue Moon - the 2nd full moon in a month.
But I probably won't be able to see it because the weather forecast here tomorrow is rain and cloud.

Distance 223,190 miles.
