White. Yellow. Blue. Red. These are the colours of the moon as it rises and sets on earth. Whether it’s a full, a waning gibbous, or a waxing crescent moon adorning the skies, it is never fails to be awe-inspiring. Of course, the most sublime of all is the Supermoon, which is said to occur 3-4 times a year. This year we were fortunate to watch four Supermoons rising. Mark your 2022 calendar for next two supermoon on June 14 and July 13. Friends of Weekly Sparks share these poignant images of La Luna that had us humming “Fly Me To The Moon”.
