Blue moon over Monticello

Friday, August 31 was a blue moon -- the second full moon in a single calendar month, a phenomenon that only rolls around every couple of years. The next blue moon won't be seen in the night sky until July 31, 2015.

John of Catskills Photography took this stunning shot of the full moon over Monticello on Friday, with the aid of an Orion 4.5-inch reflecting telescope. For more on how he got the photo -- and a more high-resolution image -- click here to see its Flickr page.
