Today's Moon

[Askern]

Reminds me of the story of the top classical violinist pretending to be an ordinary busker - she was playing her Stradivarius - most people ignored her but one young child had to be physically dragged away she was so enchanted - children notice more than we realize.

So very true

He's right, you know.... it was a rather special moon at the weekend... nearest to earth for twenty years - it look huge because not only is it 14 per cent bigger but more importantly it's 30 per cent brighter than other full moons. Unfortunately we had our Bat Run last Thursday and didn't see a thing... on Saturday night it would have been like running under a spotlight!

I was running on Saturday night on the Hardmoors 55 and saw it rise - a big orange hazy orb shining through the horizontal streaks of high cloud. I would have taken pictures if there had been a wall or fence post to rest the camera. It did look impressive.

[Grouse]

Mine looked impressive when I saw it rise too.

Does Uranus have any moons............woops wrong thread, should have been the anal problems one

[Llani Boy]

Apparently the Chinese have landed some expensive scrap metal on the Moon today.
I wonder if they will become the first to land a human there.
I shall not be holding my breath!

[Stagger]

Blue.

Here's me, thinking this thread was all about "Moon" bicycle lights??

And apparently it's not the "dark side" that the Chinese just landed a robot on. The dark side points to us sometimes. It's the "far side".

This brings Gary Larson into the mix and removes Pink Floyd. Though we still have "frosty the snowman" of Ultima Thule. Until yesterday I thought this was a top of the range bike rack.
