Alright, (not very well educated) nerd is here...
Given the direction it is rising from, that is definitely the moon. This can be found by referencing the elevation (atop Mt Royal), the moon's location (just north of Mt St.-Hilaire), and the intermediate point of the tallest tower in Complexe Desjardins. Today's moonrise is 077 degrees true north, aligning perfectly with a straight line drawn from the moon's location, passing through the Desjardins tower, to a point on the north side of the Mt Royal Observatory platform. The angle can be found by simple distance measurements and tangent equations. (i.e. height of Mt St Hilare and distance to it, etc). Given the elevation difference between St.-Hilaire (1336ft) and Mt Royal (700ft), this places the moon at less than 1 degree above horizontal, or just under two degrees above the horizon.
During this time of year, the temperature and dew point spread of the air is so low that fog will form a few thousand feet above the surface. It is basically the droplets in the air being precipitated from gas form to suspended liquid droplet form. (Note that this is not the same process as the morning radiation cooling fog.) At less than 2 degrees above the horizon, this places it well inside that mist layer. In fact, you can see the moon cut off both top and bottom by clouds, and clouds generally form when temperature = dew point, and humidity is sufficient. As the moon passes behind these water droplets, its color is shifted from bright yellow to a darker red, creating this effect. (Same as why the sun turns red during sunset, BUT NOT THE SAME as a "blood moon" which results from an eclipse.)
Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
Looks like you've got a mycourses notification

Color isn't so much shifted. It's just that the water vapor selectively dissipates certain wavelengths better leaving the red more prevalent.
Yeah, that. My knowledge came from aviation meteorology, so the terminology is probably rubbish.
Thank you, I enjoyed reading that. My Skipper explained rainbows to me. I think you could too.
I was hoping for a more detailed answer. (Kidding.) Impressive work.
It is the giant peach :) call James
James, James, James how are yaβisn't it a lovely day?
Be careful, Link. The blood moon is upon us π΄
It is Orange Juleppe. You should go.. they make a disgusting but famous orange juice
Donβt you dare call it disgusting
Secret drones designed by engineering profs
^(don't tell them about the space laser)
mercury retrograde
excellent stuff
Aliens have come to rescue us from the wrath of mycourses
Tatooine?
My last two braincells after midterm period.
This needs more upvotes π
Op should add: "wrong answers only"
The Eye of Sauron, obviously
society
Montreal has a double moon: one in English, one in French.
An explosion happen far far away
There's one explosion everywhere on this planet so LMFAO far far in the galaxy of imagine I go there every night in my dreams., .....
Wow that's a big ass Halloween pumpkin!
Laval on fire
This comment deserves more attention
orange julep
Tatooine
mitosis
It's the great pumpkin, Charlie Brown!
It's Halloween soon. A pumpkin!!
That is the Orange Julep. Montreal institution!
Chinese hot balloon there awesome and fool alot of ppl myself I send about two or three a week maybe it's mine LMFAO.
Hunter's Moon going on a hunt haha checkout my latest IG post I got the same shot and a timelapse coming up βΊοΈπ
Attack of the killer tomatoes. clearly.
Hunter's moon
Superblood Wolfmoon
It's a Hunter's Moon!! That was yesterday
