Love the harvest moon. Don't understand why it looks like that though

Thanks for that link RTK

Right, October 6th. Thanks RT.
Anyone know how I work out the difference between EST and GMT?

est iirc`is 5 hours behind us

would it be a similar time in the UK? Or should i assume that we would see it best 5 hours earlier (ie 6pm ish).

Harvest Moon is 3.13am Saturday 7th October in the UK

Thanks RTKM, my dd loves the moon, as do I and thats fascinating.

Thanks Saint George. I don't think ds will be staying up for that then!
Do you think it would still look impressive earlier in the evening?

If the weather is clear then yes.

She is actually full for a good few hours before hand, but the times given are when she is momentarily at her fullest. In the UK she should still look full on the Saturday night as well, so early evening Sat should be as good as early evening Friday.

Thanks.

A beautiful sight

ds has watched too many dinosaur extinction programmes - he thinks it looks like the end of the world. Or a haystack.
