Orange Moon over Minneapolis Protests, May 2020

The Minneapolis skyline is seen at night with an orange moon, during the widespread protests of May 2020. This atmospheric phenomenon was likely caused by smoke and haze from fires that occurred across Minneapolis on the fourth day of protests following the death of George Floyd. Visible structures include the distinctive roofline of U.S. Bank Stadium, a multi-purpose stadium completed in 2016, and various downtown commercial and medical buildings, such as the M Health Clinics and Surgery Center. These protests in Minneapolis and globally brought significant attention to issues of racial injustice and police brutality.
