Full Moon Rise

Facing the northeast, about 30 minutes before sunset, the Full Moon will rise over the horizon.

As the Sun is setting, in the eastern sky we should see a pink sky with a dark band on the horizon, a phenomenon known as the Belt of Venus. This is the shadow of the Earth being shown on our atmosphere, and will provide a beautiful tabletop setting for the Full Moon.

At first, the Moon will appear an orange-pink colour as it sits low on the horizon. This happens every time the Moon is low on the horizon, caused by Rayleigh Scattering. The Moon will appear a yellow colour as it gets higher, then it's normal white colour when high enough over the horizon.
