Sharing a bottle of Chablis and waiting for the extra big moon around the 14th...
Talking about booze and cosmic affairs... Have you seen this? We at work have concluded what it was. The ISS crew jettisoned the beer keg after the Armistice Day celebrations.

@ Moon! It's not the East or the West side... it's the Dark Side

12th you say, fine by me then...but is it correct? You tell me...
Why so super? The moon's orbit around the Earth is slightly elliptical, so sometimes it's closer and sometimes it's farther away. When the moon is full as it passes closest to the Earth, it's called a "supermoon." At that point, it can be as much as 14 percent closer to the Earth than at apogee, or when it's furthest away.
The proximity makes the full moon appear much larger in diameter and because it is larger, it shines 30 percent more moonlight onto the Earth.
I'm out of wine...BARTENDER! Moonshine please.
Moon...shine. Get it?
what country will provide the best moonshine?

If it was shot on a real situation, for the FOV it'd require just about 1000mm tele with a 1.6 crop DSLR (the angular FOV is about 1.4 degrees as far as I can estimate) and the atmospherical clarity does not match that kind of distance.
Also getting a balanced exposure is not possible from that kind of setup; remember that the surface of the moon is in bright sunlight (exp. f8, iso100, 1/200s) and the surroundings are in near darkness...

This is real...
It's Gandalf the red...
Our moon is pretty booring. Could atleast have some snow, sea or a twin moon.

Then came the 17th century and we found out that our Moon is just a natural satellite and that other planets have their moons too. It was too late to rename ours so we had to come up with names for theirs.
Bot our Moon is special after all. There is no other planet we know of that has a moon so large in relation to its host planet's size. Pluto's moon is larger, to the point that Pluto and its moon orbit a common centre of gravity that is outside the Pluto's interior. But sadly, Pluto is no longer a planet so our Earth-Moon system is unique again.
