Orange Moon over Minneapolis Protests

Orange moon over downtown Minneapolis during George Floyd protest unrest.
Orange moon over downtown Minneapolis during George Floyd protest unrest.

An orange moon rises beside the downtown Minneapolis skyline in Minnesota in the early hours of May 30, 2020, during the unrest that followed the killing of George Floyd. Visible landmarks include U.S. Bank Stadium at left and the M Health Clinics and Surgery Center in the foreground, with office and medical buildings filling the city center. The moon’s color was likely intensified by smoke and haze hanging over the city as fires burned during that period.

Photo taken in May 2020.
