The Moon tonight

It's a full moon tonight and it's a supermoon - it looks huge!

You should get a good look now, fairly low in the sky to the east if it's not too cloudy where you are.

Can't see it at all. Also it's not Blue! It's an extra moon because of moon cycles in a year. No doubt when I need a wee at 3am I'll be able to see it.

Ooh good point! I'll be grateful for my weak bladder this evening 😁

I remember one evening sitting in the garden looking at a beautiful full moon with Venus rising and we saw a bat soar over the washing line and I said, all we need now is an ISS sighting ... and there it was overhead!

Not bad for the concrete jungle.

It’s absolutely stunning and it’s made me cry! I wish I had a decent camera

Washyourfaceinmysink · 30/08/2023 22:42

Bright in London

Poppins2016 · 30/08/2023 22:43

We saw it from multiple positions as we were driving home from holiday this evening. It's a beautiful moon.

Sidge · 30/08/2023 22:45

So bright here!

mynumber · 30/08/2023 22:47

Thanks for this thread we have all just had a look.
It's lovely!

Stunning in real life, not so much in my awful photo.

I really like your photo.

Surely2023IsTheYearForMyRainbowBaby · 30/08/2023 22:55

I saw it driving home from work. It was gorgeous

Fruitynutcase · 30/08/2023 22:59

I will be 78 the next time a Blue moon comes . It might be cloudy then so tonight I spent some time looking at it as I probably won't see it again in my life time .

foxlover47 · 30/08/2023 23:00

It's absolutely beautiful

hobbledyhoy · 30/08/2023 23:13

Just went out to see it due to this post. Glorious, and awe inspiring after a tough day, thanks OP.

bushtailadventures · 30/08/2023 23:36

Looks amazing when we get a break in the clouds, my picture doesn't do it justice.

Thistooshallpsss · 30/08/2023 23:40

Northeast over the sea

GammonAndEggs · 30/08/2023 23:42

When I look at the moon, I think about the footprints left behind up there.

Asking for a friend !

tsmainsqueeze · 31/08/2023 00:04

I can't find words to describe the way a full moon makes me feel, I think its probably my favourite thing in the natural world, I don't think I've seen one as spectacular as tonight's.

bizzey · 31/08/2023 00:16

Ohhh ...ds took these photos on my phone ...
Who knew I had such a good camera !

Tg2023 · 31/08/2023 00:16

Stunning in the NE

Furries · 31/08/2023 00:17

Thanks for this, I’d have missed it otherwise. Wow, it’s SO bright, even though we’ve got a few clouds.

I won’t be posting the photo I took, it looks like a car headlight on a foggy night 🤣

bizzey · 31/08/2023 00:17

Just now .. SW London.

bizzey · 31/08/2023 00:18

He put night light on it ?

bizzey · 31/08/2023 00:18

But yes ...very bright .
