Most news outlets are covering the Jeff Bezos and crew launching the few minutes delayed Blue Origin first crewed 11-minute space flight on the anniversary of Apollo 11’s moon landing in 1969. The New Shepard spacecraft launched flawlessly and was a beautiful site … although, shockingly short, for $28 million dollars per passenger.

Interestingly, the sky in SW Ohio was very orange last night as I looked out the window before bed last night. I was so clear that after “trying” to capture the moon on my iPhone 7plus (left), I opted to pull out the Lumix GX8 (right) and then added the telephoto for a closer image of the moon itself below (click for larger).
