The ISS was passing in front of it at some point, shouldn't last that long though. It is a full moon though and you might still catch some Perseids if you're lucky.

As for the OP, i managed to catch it for a second while out with the dog, literally through the clouds

Not quite full yet I don't think, still waxing gibbous.

I can't believe it's actually called that, I never get tired of it

The moon isn't full because it is waxing Gibbo?

If he comes into work on Monday smelling of cheese and very dusty, you will have know what has happened

Zefan · 14 Aug 2011 at 00:55

Hmmm..

I stand by my claim of a waxing gibbous.

Domo · 14 Aug 2011 at 00:56

As at 00:55 it's 98% full. Yesterday (Sat) it was indeed @ Waxing Gibbous.

Zefan · 14 Aug 2011 at 00:59

Ya see, I knew I was right!

I guess these things just come easy to me. Wax on, wax off!

And you said at 0055 it was full... so before that it wasn't full and must've been waxing gibbous.

Waxing. Gibbous.

You can't just say that the moon is full for a single moment in time, that's no use for everybody. For all astronomical intents and purposes the moon is and has been full all night

I noticed it was really massive tonight. I'm 6 beers deep tho.

Hyburnate · 14 Aug 2011 at 06:14
