I was out last night in the back garden to watch the near full moon and to take a few photos.
The sky had been hazy all here in London and the moon was kind of struggljng to show its splendour. It was fairly up above the horizon. I took a couple of photos. I looked through my camera to take another one when I noticed a thin band of clouds over the moon. I clicked away and looked at it. It was amazing. By the I clicked again 15 secs had elapsed. The band was not at the bottom. View the photos marked: first photo and second photo.
Well, the band turned out to be condensation trails of a jet airplane passing in front of the moon.
Notice also how noticeable the upward movement of the moon in a space of 15 seconds.
Thanks for appreciating
