Go out and look at the moon tonight. It's supposed to be huge. Next opportunity for it to be as big, in twenty years.

It is cloudy here, if anyone gets a good picture, I would love to see it.

I've already messaged a number of people who have to take a close up shot of the moon a few hours ago. I certainly hope one of them took their time to do so. I didn't have access to my camera at the time.

I can't get a good angle from where I am, but you aren't missing much. :p

There are some videos on youtube already. Found this one. The brightness is impressive.


I think now is too late though.

You mean the super-est part is over by now?

I have a clear view here; it doesn't look nearly as big as the one in that clip. I don't see any difference in size actually, although it is quite a bit brighter than usual. Pretty cool.

[MENTION=13260]Rasofy[/MENTION], nice. Thank you. Still cloudy here.

Yeah, I looked it up too. Oh well, still love a full moon.

I don't really know how it works, but I suppose it was more noticeable on the early stages (when we don't have to look up to see the moon). I might be wrong though.

How kind of you to do so! :)

I am hoping tomorrow will yield lovely photos on the blogosphere for us to enjoy and contemplate.

TypoC should? Lol

Oh certainly. It would be fantastic to see what images would be brought about. Quite exciting yes.

Heidelberg, Germany
around midnight


(actually, it looked smaller and less bright IRL than it turned out on the photo, but I didn't process anything)

Now that looks cool, the way it lights up the clouds and shines down on the landscape, even. Light pollution dulled that effect for me, I think, but if I were still living in a less urban location, man... :) It looked nice from where I was, but not especially notable.
