Strange Moon Tonight

This is a picture I took tonight and normally I wouldn't give it a second thought but this seems strange!

It almost looks like something strange is in front of the moon.

With the naked eye it looked normal...but this picture seems odd!

I have a couple more to add and I'll fetch those shortly!



This is the first picture...



This is another one...15 minutes later:

Chinese air pollution is very bad right now. World news won't report on it now. The moon last night here in Asia was a bit weird too.

I suppose it is...in the first picture though it almost looks like there is a hole in the moon and a orb of some sort kind of hanging out...just a weird picture to me.

Crazy I hope I can see one someday!

The two other images dont work.

First 2 images say "file not found on server"

I thought the moon looked a little strange last night. It was orange.

That's strange...they show up just fine on the thread (on my end anyway)...

Oh well...it's probably nothing anyway...just a strange picture...photos are sometime just strange!

The moon still seems to be the moon and nothing weird about it!

I'm not understanding that...they're in the thread...and they uploaded just fine!

I don't get that...they seem to show up just fine for me!

Can you describe what you saw?

Are you talking about the two contrails?

No (although the contrails was pretty neat)...I've added the picture twice now...I don't know why it's not showing up...

It's very distinct...it's the moon and half of it seems dark but there's a perfect orb in front of the dark spot...it's just strange...

I'll try and upload it again!



Let's see if it shows up here...I can't edit the OP...so hopefully!!!

Would someone please let me know if this stupid image is showing up! Thanks!

I wish the image would show up...it would be a lot easier...lol



You think eventually one of these pictures would show up!

It shows now... If it isn't like that with the naked eye, then it is the camera lens creating it.

How many times have you taken a picture of the sun or moon with your smartphone and when you looked at the picture you saw things that you didn’t notice when you looked up at the sky?! It happens frequently and in most cases, it’s simply the bright light of a relatively small object that reflects inside the glass of your camera lens. It often appears as a dot, and many times it will have a partial circle or oval with a glow around the dot. It might also be tinted blue or purple or even green!

Well then there you go...solved it!

Not so strange after all...

I wear glasses and didn't have them on so I don't trust my naked eye as well as you do...but I occasionally trust my camera when it picks up something I missed (because I didn't have my glasses on or because my focus was somewhere else)!

Still cool looking though.

Wow and India is clear? Also, that is one of the reasons I do not plan to visit China anytime soon.
