I took the dog out at about 2am this morning before going to bed. Couldn't believe it - the garden was almost floodlit.

Since I work the night shift in a hospital, I got to witness first hand all the "full moon crazies" crawl out of the woodwork. Unfortunately, the only full moon I saw last night was the one my patient showed me when he crawled out of bed (gown open in back, of course), screaming, "Help me...help me." When I asked him what he needed help with, he quickly replied, "I can't find the golf course." I'm so glad to have tonight off, so I can gaze at that beautiful moon from the safety of my own home. Thanks for the reminder, Jar11.

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.

your not the only one I am here in Victoria Island and as dark as it usually is here at night the moon what INCREDIBLE bright so much so I didn't need the outside lights on at all!!

Is there a special reason to watch the moon tonight? Cause I'll do it if you say so.

That is mega-bright.

Yeah been keeping an eye on it all summer, it's been a real treat. Should, I think, be clear up until christmas.

sfunny..I thought I'd a quick search to see if anything unusual was going on with our moon as it is exceptionally bright tonight (0:28 in Jockland)

It's hard to look directly at and takes a lot longer to adjust and see the familiar patterns quite beautiful though, there's almost enough light for me to walk around in my back garden and not stand in any dog turds (almost:@@

I think I might have missed it =[ Im going to go outside in a minute to take a look. Though its freezing right now. I dont know where my camera is or else I would take pictures.

I have the FULL moon and the NEW moon dates circled on my all calenders...
this October they occur on the 4th & 18th

I patiently wait for my gypsy like witch to visit my home on these two occasions each month (& three times in December, the 2nd, 16th, & 31st)

its a beautiful harvest moon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Newbie here. I got some pics from So, Tx. But I don't know how to upload.
Maybe I'll figure it out soon.

Yeah it was bright and beautiful here as well. Took some great photos and some video as well.

It's good to stop in our pursuit of happiness sometimes and just be happy.

yeah it was UBER bright! so bright.

shades of 2012? hmmm. i don't know.

Looked so good I put the cruddy 'ole 7x50's on it and was suprised at the detail I saw.

Our neighbor is a beatiful sight! Aliens or not... :-D
