This iPhone picture of the camera screen of my Nikon shows that the dark part of the moon, the eclipsed part, is glowing faintly reddish, like the color of raspberry sherbet. The unexposed part of the moon is overexposed here. -- Dr. Jay Pasachoff, astronomy professor at Williams College

After some waiting and worrying we wouldn'™t see the supermoon because of the dense cloud cover my son and I saw it break through the heavy gray backdrop over NYC. Images were taken from the cliff on Lincoln Place street in Weehawken NJ.
