Micro Full Pink Moon in conjunction with the bright star Spica in Virgo.
This image is an HDR (High Dynamic Range) version, created using a technique that combines multiple exposures to capture the Moon’s natural appearance more accurately. (Gear in tags.)
(Despite its name, the Pink Moon doesn’t actually appear pink. The name comes from the blooming of pink phlox flowers around this time of year. My camera is Astro modified, gives that faint pink glow.)

It’s National Dolphin Day! Let’s celebrate with the spinner dolphin (Stenella longirostris). Why does this species spin? Scientists think it makes acrobatic leaps for a range of reasons: to rid itself of clinging parasites, to signal something, to enhance a courtship display…or just for fun! You can spot this dolphin in tropical regions around the world, including waters near Thailand, Hawaii, and Central America. It lives in pods that can range up to as many as a thousand individuals.
