This photo shows the tracks and colors of the moon's rising, setting, and at the zenith when it approaches the first quarter moon. The moon close to the first quarter moon usually rises before noon, forming a very dreamy day moon in blue sky. The sun is very strong at this time, and it is easy to miss the moon if you do not look carefully. The direction of the moon's rising track in the northern hemisphere is upward to the right. The moon moves near the zenith around dusk. At this point, the sky began to get dark, but the moon's surface became clear and slightly yellow. The direction of the zenithal Moon's track moves to the right, so it is close to a horizontal line. The moon usually sets before midnight and appears red when it is low in the sky due to atmospheric scattering. Recently, because of the haze, the color of the moon has become redder! The direction of the moon's setting track in the northern hemisphere is moving downward to the right.
