The Moon rises very south and remains low in the sky (like the Sun in winter) thus taking longer than usual to rise. It is dark red when it appears discreetly above the sea. At first very blurred (due to the very strong atmospheric turbulence near the horizon), flattened (due to the atmospheric refraction), dark and red (due to the thicker atmosphere near the horizon), it gradually illuminates and yellows, while it regains its very round shape. That day, it will take several hours for her to turn white again. Each image of this montage was taken five minutes after the previous one. June 22, 2005.
