Missing the moon? Two holdover West Seattle views

More than missing the sun on this cloudy day just past, tonight we’re missing the moon – so many nights in a row of watching it this past week-plus, as it set, glowing-coal red, behind Vashon, then as it rose golden in the sky, almost full, then finally full, from the Olympics. So here are two views from this week’s full moon: Above, Booker‘s view from The Junction last night; below, Anne from Ventana Construction (WSB sponsor) shares the view from over the Duwamish on Sunday night:

If you too are a sky-watcher – note that our experimental WSB Weather page has moonrise/moonset/sunrise/sunset times. (Our reader survey last spring included many requests for expanded weather information, so we’re tinkering with this before serious fall/winter weather hits. You can also reach the page by clicking the temperature icon on the sidebar, under the bridge cam.)

Thanks. That’s the kind of suggestion we were hoping for – weather basics that others rely on but we wouldn’t have thought of. The page has pretty much infinite room – we’re looking mostly for information that comes via either widgets or RSS, so it’s automatically updated and displayed, but if we find anything vital that’s not available that way, we’ll make a link list too – TR
