Flower Moon🌹🌕 This Moon photo was taken at 99% phase, a day before the peak of the Flower Moon full moon on May 30. Stacking of 1800 frames shows a unique green color on the Moon's surface, possibly from the mineral olivine from ancient volcanic activity. In addition to green, there are blue, orange, and purple colors that indicate the diversity of minerals such as titanium and pyroxene. That night also appeared the halo moon phenomenon, a ring of light due to the refraction of the Moon's rays by ice crystals in the atmosphere. The combination of almost full full moon, mineral color, and halo makes this moment rare and stunning. Full Moon Flower this time is also a micromoon, because the Moon is at the farthest point from the Earth.
