Did anyone see the moon?

It didn't look anything special to me either, the full moon always looks good here.

I saw it briefly it looked a bit bigger than normal but wasn't anything to get excited about will have another look tonight it was pretty overcast most of the night

I was doing my walk along the landing and the moon was so bright I thought the neighbours had their security lights on !

I saw it from the landing through a skylight. I looked up and there it was! Amazing!

I saw it in central Scotland when the clouds parted briefly. It was spectacular and the clouds round it looked beautiful as well.

I saw it rising pink as we left DDs house at about 5:30pm. We then saw it about 15 miles later to the left of the road, by then it was nothing to write home about.
The year before on that stretch of road it was really big and very pink. The trouble was the road is hard to stop on and we needed to get back home.

Next time I see it like that I am going to stop and take a photograph whatever the evening rush hour traffic is like.

We saw it in the West Midlands. It was very bright but did not seem bigger than usual.

Faye that's a great photo from your iPad! It really shows how bright the moon was last night.

Here's one from DH's special toy!

I saw it and took a photo, it was just getting dark. It's not the clearest photo as I used my iPad.

Yes.
Cloudy and street lights so couldn't see the moon.
Went with DH on moon hunt ( DH has a new camera) to where there were no street lights.
Saw nothing!
Came back home
Bright Moon right in front of house !
Cloud had broken up.
So he managed a few shots
The moon was bright,with an aura but not particularly big.
I woke up at about 3am , no DH.
He was taking more moon shots !

Is he interested in astronomy?
Is he heckers like
He's just got a new toy

We had a lovely clear night so a great view of the moon. It did seem bigger but in particular the brightness was stunning! DH got some great detailed photos of the surface.

I suspect some of those photos in the press were taken as the moon was rising, when it always looks huge anyway

DH has just told me that he got up at 6am to look at the moon because it was flooding the bedroom with light, he decided not to wake me in case I was not amused.

We had s fantastic view of the setting moon this morning too !

Anya, i am sure round about 1993 there was a bigger closer moon

It was too cloudy.

We did get a good view of it - my OH, who is into these things, was excited. I did not think it looked a lot different from the usual beautiful moon.

We got a view of it around eight o'clock and it didn't look any different to me to moons I've seen before and, like others, I've seen bigger, brighter ones in recent years. I really didn't think it was worth taking a photo of.

Oddly enough I've seen a much, much bigger moon than this. No, it wasn't in 1948 but sometime in the last 20 years

Very cloudy here last night, so no moon to see. This morning on the way home from work, I saw it as it was setting. Lovely big moon. Why don't I carry my camera with me wherever I go?

J52 what time were you there ? i live in small village on the edge of the park and managed to get get some great photos at 21:30, we had approx 20 mins of clear sky. The moon was really bright and the aura was impressive.

We are in the Galloway Dark Sky park tonight and guess what! It's covered in cloud, so no moon. Feeling hard done by!

No , we were all excited waiting to see it, but it is too cloudy. I heared on the radio that if it is clear tomorrow we will still have a chance as it should be almost as big and bright as tonight. Fingers crossed.

Some of the photos on the TV from Hong Kong, tokyo Make The Moon Really Massive. I think it all depends on which part of the world you are I am glad to have seen it and it looked as if you could reach out and touch it. We don't see the stars either as much as I remember when I was younger - too many cloudy nights!

GD was expecting something special after all the hype and duely we went out several times to have a look but too cloudy.

On her way home there was a clearing and the moon was clearly visible, hooray we thought.

She simply said ' Was that it Nan'. I must admit I couldn't see a difference either.

Does it vary greatly as to where you live, we are in the Midlands.

Here on the NE coast we had a brief period where the clouds parted and the moon could be seen clearly. DGC very excited .
