THE 'SUPERMOON'

[raleighnut]

Just goes to show what twaddle MSN post, there are already photos of "what it looked like in the UK" on there and it hasn't even happened fully yet.
Mind you it does look fantastic in the clear skies over Leicester, just a shame that they are showing 'stock' photographs of what tonights event may be even though it ain't happened yet.

It was fantastic, big, and bright over our tiny garden in London W14 at about 9pm, Sunday. Quite lovely.

Watching it now...Clear sky here in Northampton. Total eclipse now!

It hit totality about 10 minutes ago, stunning.

It's a bit smaller than I thought it would be, but a nice sight when totality finally happened.

Gorgeous so pleased to have a clear night to see it too.

Brilliant pictures!

Wasn't able to snap one myself, Dad got a few. Will have to see how they turn out.

...its now very misty here

Was it just me, or did it appear smaller than previous nights?

Deifinately a reddish tinge to it still at 4.30 am here.

Somebody wanted a drink of milk about quarter past four, so got me up just in time to see the end of it. It's really quite a weird profound feeling, nursing a baby while there's a rare celestial event going on. Could be termed religious, if one was so inclined.

No sign of the apocalypse then, aside from the usual?

No the SC&P thread will still be like a 4th year playground.

Should make my dark cycle to work this morning a wee bitty brighter

I had to get up in the night for a wee and saw the moon through the velux windows, quite an eerie sight.
