Well, kids, time to play hooky from anything serious: it's SUMMER. Wheeeeee. No school, no books, no homework. Playtime all the live long day. Long days, short nights; extended twilight, warm rivers and streams; even coastal oceans warm(a bit out here on the West Coast.
So, did you look @ the "Super Moon"? Yes, that big orb that rose above the Tahoe Basin's east rim is called a Super Moon. Why? Well, because it looks bigger for a reason: it's 14,000 miles closer to earth right now. Astronomers called it super-sized because it appears larger; it's still the same old, same old, Luna.
The Mayor was gazing at the lake and the reflection on the surface of the moon as it climbed higher in the night sky. The long streak of reflected moonlight filled the lens of any optical tool available, and also provided unlimited opportunities for photo buffs to jiggle their smart phones to get a nice shot they could send to friends and relatives around the country.
