Sunset Moon

What's wrong with this picture? Well, the moon rises in the East...
And the sun sets in the West. We all know that. So why are the colorful
clouds not in the west with the setting sun?? The clouds in the west were
dark & eerie looking...nothing like these beautiful, pink,
fluffy clouds that accompanied the moon. Matter of fact,
I wasn't even looking for the moon, because it was so cloudy.
Then as I found the pink clouds in the East, the moon dropped out
from behind a dark cloud... right into my frame!
So I clipped the clouds and aimed for the moon :)
(which disappeared after about 15 minutes:)

The moon is far more unpredictable than the sun, changes its mind all the time, superbly captured scene. v

Perhaps an astronomer can address what you've posed?

You have a marvellous photo here January. Sometimes if we just but turn from what we see there is another masterpiece waiting for us that might have gone unnoticed. This is that shot.
