This morning’s super blue blood moon drew admiring crowds up and down the East Coast. Plenty of folks headed to Compo Beach.
Many took pictures.
You or I would have posted them to our own Instagram account.
Famed Westport photographer Stephen Wilkes sent his to National Geographic.
They’ve got a lot more followers.
Which is why millions of people around the world now can share in Westport’s wonderful morning.

Thanks for sharing this, Dan!
I dragged myself out of my warm house in Trumbull, CT to get a glimpse of this moon, around 5am.
Kept an eye on it until sunrise, and it was lovely!
However, it never turned a warm glow, which I was looking forward to.
Perhaps the fact that my property is about 500 feet above sea level affected the “luck of the light” angles? Just a guess. 😉
So lucky, Sharon! I forgot to set the clock and missed it!
How many years until the next? Every sunrise is a midnight sun.
