KANSAS CITY, Mo. — There was just the right mix of clouds and clear skies late Wednesday night and early Thursday morning for Kansas City photographers to capture the Blue supermoon.

We had several viewers e-mail us their photos of the moon, which, in one case had some company.

Photographer Glenn Hemberger captured not only the moon but planets Saturn and Jupiter as well from a vantage point in Leawood.

“A pretty cool night,” Hemberger wrote in an e-mail to KSHB 41.

A little further west near Cedar Creek in Olathe, viewer Scott Malone took the opportunity to showcase the moon against a field of corn.
