It's incredible. Last night it was a 'pink' moon, tonight it is bright orange Shock

I'm in Switzerland. I missed last night (went to bed early) but at the moment it looks lovely but not amazing. Going to try to stay awake a bit longer....

Omg it's amazing why is it like that?!

hannabarbera · 08/04/2020 21:48

Oh its lovely!!🌕🌕🌕

Toilenstripes · 08/04/2020 21:48

Just took a picture from Oxfordshire. It looks like a harvest moon.

DateLoaf · 08/04/2020 21:50

How come it’s such an amazing colour?

nothingcanhurtmewithmyeyesshut · 08/04/2020 21:51

You can see Venus and what I think is Mars at the moment too. It looks faintly red and I'm pretty sure it's in more or less the right place so I think its Mars 😂 Venus is amazing, brightest thing in the sky

RoxanneRoxannee · 08/04/2020 21:52

Wow. I have just had a look. It is so bright.

Noflora · 08/04/2020 21:53

Beautiful. Thank you OP

hannabarbera · 08/04/2020 21:56

According to my app, Mars will rise at 04:32. So not visible ATM

Lightofthephoenix · 08/04/2020 21:57

We had the telescope out

stella1know · 08/04/2020 21:59

If anyone has any nice pictures 🙂 . . Would be glad to have to show DS tomorrow, probably cant get a good view from where I am.

goodthanks · 08/04/2020 22:09

THAT explains tonight's madness from the DDs. Thank god for that.

nothingcanhurtmewithmyeyesshut · 08/04/2020 22:09

Ok so what I thought was Mars is still visible if only faintly. Anyone know what it is? In the picture it's slightly down and to the left of Venus.

It's too low at the moment, I'll be doing photos later.

NotEvenTheKing · 08/04/2020 22:13

It looked amazing a little while ago. Was really low in the sky. I WhatsAppd my family and they didn't didn't believe me ..

Lightofthephoenix · 08/04/2020 22:13

Bright orange earlier, had a luminous look to it.

sundaymorningfeeling · 08/04/2020 22:33

I'm in Oxfordshire, just went to the window, very disappointed to see a lovely but not colourful in any way moon! Hmm

PleasantVille · 08/04/2020 22:38

It's the same colour as normal here, the orange effect must depend on where you are. The pink moon doesn't mean it's actually pink it's the name for this month's full moon. You'd think they wouldn't have given it such a misleading name though, I was expecting it to actually be pink Smile

Dowser · 08/04/2020 23:19

That’s incredible willow..we’ve had some amazing high tides this week too

hannabarbera · 09/04/2020 20:16

Lovely evening again. Venus is shining bright!
