Super Moon

[robbiegal]

cloudy on sunset here too
should have set up my telescope (just a hobby one nothing special)
 dark/rainy sky - but very bright moon - is looking fairly large up there in the sky tonight
took these pics at about 11.20 pm

"Technically the fullest part of the full moon (when the moon is 100% illuminated) happens at 12:53am tonight... which is actually tomorrow!"

Just taken a squiz outside, 2350hrsEST and clear skies in Melbourne and a very bright moon but doesn't look any bigger.

Must have taken a slimming pill or something.

Finally managed to catch a glimpse of it in small breaks in the cloud just after midnight.

Great pics RG nice and round , technically yes it was after midnight that it was at it's biggest but visually naked eye it was at its best after sunset:good:

Always looks bigger low to the horizon because of diffraction through the atmosphere -acts like a magnifying glass.

Yes. To me the moon was much brighter than normal, but any appearance of being bigger was minimal.
