We are inching towards the 15th day of the Chinese sixth lunar month tomorrow. But tonight, the moon is already at 99.4 percent illumination. The above picture was taken at 10.01pm. It's an almost perfectly round orb in the sky. Plus, an added bonus of seeing some very subtle red and blue tinges on the surface because, contrary to popular belief, the moon is not in various shades of grey. Actually, there are tinges of blue and red in the shadowy areas. Look closely and be amazed! They are there!
