Look at the moon...

jp_bl_68 · 28 Dec 2009 at 22:21

I just looked up at the moon and it looks like there's a perfect circle of very light, wispy clouds with the moon in the very centre. Can anyone else see this?

Moon fart, common as muck.

That's no moon!

Urgh. I can't even find the moon. No moon in Sussex.

That's no fart then.

Yup, almost overhead, it is a waxing gibbous Moon with 89% of the Moon illuminated. There will be a full moon on the 31st at 19:13.

I seem to be the only person I know that can see the 'face' in the moon

I honestly couldn't care less about the moon to be honest.

That be the Moon's anus.

Seriously. How many people do you think will read this in your town, county, country at the same time to see those clouds ?

I'm only a few hundred miles north of you - and the last time I noticed or have even seen the moon was 3 days ago at 3 PM (since then it has been clouded over). Even then, there were no wispy clouds.

Give me what you are smokin though - as it must be interesting enought to post about

No idea. Does it matter?

I was out a few hours ago trying out my new Astro binoculars (Celestron SkyMaster 15x70) so yes. But no, I didn't see that. Was a nice amount of detail, unfortunately Jupiter was behind a shed load of cloud so never got the chance to look. I was gonna pop out and have a squint at mars with them, but its too bloody cold.

the moon is pwned by the sun daily.

positively the first time I have seen the word gibbous on an internet discussion forum, I looked at the sky earlier and tried to work out in my head when the full moon would be....

...fank ye simulatorchap

...and yes the moon had a halo, but I blame that mostly on the crud in the sky :eek:
