Super moon

No, not some oversized bloke baring his bum

Apparently the moon is closer to the Earth tonight than it will be for twenty years or so and consequently it will appear very large. I shall be going out to have a look later on, in the hope that there's some clear skies that allow me to see it - supposedly we're due some cloud, interspersed with clear intervals, in the Balmy South.

Interesting stuff.

It was sunny blue skies here today, so hoping to see it if I can. Thanks for the heads up

Can't see it myself too cloudy.

Just walked out on my deck no need to turn outside light on so bright, there are street lights anywhere near me the moon is brighter than the sun we have had a couple of days earlier this week. My noisy neighbours are enjoying it, they are moonbathing

Just looked out the window. It looks pretty much the same.

Opinions seem to be varied. In the US, the moon will be at its closest at 8.52 am Eastern Standard Time, this morning - about lunchtime today in the UK. The tenor of most of the articles I have seen has been that, by tonight, the moon will be drawing away again, hence last night was the best time to see it. I am not a physicist, or any other kind of -ist, so I could be wrong. Presumably it will still be relatively close tonight, in any event......

I didnt see it at all. Was raining and cloudy on the nights it was due to show. Another one due in 2034

Not as big as I thought it would be, but still worth a look!

Looked pretty much the same during Christmas.
