Supermoon Fireworks



 (C) 2014 Luke T. Bush

PLATTSBURGH CITY, NY - Sat. 7/12/14

Not only did the Mayor's Cup fireworks fall on the night of a full moon but it was also a supermoon event.  Supermoon refers to a moon that appears larger because it is at its closest orbital point to the earth (perigee).  Obscured by clouds during the fireworks the moon was a yellow eye in the distance observing the multi-colored burst-patterns.
