A striking front-facing image of a black Dodge Challenger parked on an empty airstrip under a vivid blue sky, with a single-engine propeller plane captured mid-flight in the distance. The foreground shows a textured, slightly cracked pavement scattered with autumn leaves, adding a rustic charm to the composition. In the background, there’s a control tower and industrial buildings, hinting at an airfield setting. The Challenger’s aggressive stance, bold headlights, and glossy black finish contrast sharply with the serene sky, evoking a sense of speed, power, and freedom.

Tonight there will be a Blue Supermoon at 9:35 ET

The moon will appear about 8% larger than a normal full moon and 15% brighter than a normal full moon.

The next one won't be until January 2037. Keep any eye out tonight!
