More of Our Moon
On any given night, even when it's cold, you can find Ron snapping a photo or two of the moon. It's not the biggest object in our solar system, nor the oldest, nor the most complex. It's just relatively close and easy to see, thanks to Theia, a planet that represents the prevailing theory that so-called proto-Earth (our very early young blue marble) was struck by something huge, and broke off a chunk we now know as our lone satellite, the moon. I know I'm boring you, so here's my latest pics of that dusty, grey 4.5 billion-year-old rock, peppered with craters as seen through the brisk Decatur sky.

How the heck do you take a picture like that? Through a telescope???
I have the same question ...
Actually, I snapped this one on a recent trip to the International Space Station. (Nah, just a big lens on the front of my big DSLR camera. The moon is pretty big and bright. It's actually pretty easy to get a good shot if have a long zoom.)
