Is anyone watchingThe Full Moon tonight? - October 4th

We've been sitting under the stars all night looking at the insanely illuminated moon. It is beyond words gorgeous. It was giving a VERY intense energy. I have never seen anything like before. Anyone else see it? Got pictures? I only had my dinky iPhone camera. I'll post pictures (albeit, crappy) when I get to a PC. Thanks for reading! I am fascinated to hear your comments.


Peace.

Are you kidding?

I jumped up out of bed because I thought a police helicopter was shinning a spot light through my bedroom window.

Seriously.

Goodness, that was a VERY bright moon.

I just hope I've been spared severe retinal damage.

Thanks for the heads-up jar11, Almost forgot about the basic beautiful things in life and for free too.. Memo to me, Dig out camera and binoculars, being a bit of a sufferer of Seasonal changes this might lift my mood, Well it already has lol thanks..

Yes last night was a special moon.

Loved your explanation of the name, Mars.
(I kept forgetting why it's called like that!)

May I reward you - and the OP - with a link to "Harvest Moon", by one of my favourite painters, Samuel Palmer?

Oh the moon last night was b-e-a-utiful!

I was out at about 1am, being amazed by the brightness and the shadows it was casting

The sweetest part was that the moon had a giant halo around it, just a huge clear spot in the sky with the moon slap bang in the middle of it..

I must have stayed out a good few hours, just entranced..(am I a werewolf? Maybe that's for another thread ) Pretty cold though!

Enjoy it while you can!!!!

I'm just stoked about the "Blowing up the Moon" party this Friday...

5 more days...!!!

There is nothing quite like a moonlit night, is there?

Lucky you.
I heard from a couple of friends in the USA today: they also had a STUNNING sight.

I saw it from the outskirts of the Venetian lagoon.
It was nice, of course, but with a foggy halo all around it. A slightly depressing sight, to be honest, and certainly nothing as spectacular as what you are describing.

where are u guys at? im in sydney and unfortunately there has been nothing but rain the last 2 days....we need it , but we miss out on a spectactular veiw of the moon. I look at it every night its there, 10 minutes at least. cool

What is the "Blowing up the Moon" party?
Sounds alarming.

Do not be alarmed i too thought they were going to bomb the moon but after some discussion on this site i changed my mind on that.


From www.timesonline.co.uk...
Will not see it from UK so i will be glued to ATS for my news on this.

Has anyone notice other than me and a few others how clear our skies have been over the past week..............uuuhhhh no trails..........I will leave it at that!!

Now i go and get my guitar and do my rendition

Love that song....
Yes I was out about 5 hours ago at 6pm and it was the most brightest, yellow moon I recall seeing. usually it's more white. I put it down to dust residue from the dust storms, but it was still so bright. I didn't get a pic cos one child was demanding attention and didn't tune into the energy either for the same reason.
Now it's decided to cloud over and rain so I miss out.

I haven't noticed any difference. Where I live, there have been a few days in the past couple of weeks that the weather had been conducive to contrails...and I have seen contrails (both the quickly dissipating type and the persistent type -- depending on the weather conditions).

I specifically remember this because I was watching a couple of sunsets in the past few weeks (as I often like to do) and noticed the jetliners making sun-lit orange contrails.

...but back on topic -- The nearly full Moon was as beautiful as ever last night.

Speaking of the moon, 5 days from now on Oct 9th a little bit after 4am EST NASA will be bombing the moon, if you have a clear night/morning and a small telescope you should be able to see the debris cloud from the impact around the lunar south pole.

I was up all night and could see the moon shining all over the place casting shadows. I was also in the moonlight for quite some time. I am happy to report that I did not get moonburned.
