Moon 'n' Meteorology

A full moon shines through a small opening in the clouds at 9:20 PM on Friday, October 22, 2010. A formerly clear sky this night had only just been transformed to cloud cover. Standing out ghostly below the moon is a roof-mounted weather station. A flash provided its visual effect. The brightness of the moon was strong enough to still shine through much of the veil of clouds. This composite view looks east over Brentwood Drive NE in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
