Rare "Super Moon" tomorrow evening

paul_c2

I've seen it, but its not that different from other full moons.

More interested in the abnormally high tides which go with a supermoon.

Right, clouds have parted and I can see the moon....looks just the same as it always does. Load of fuss about nothing.

Yup, it's a little different tonite here in Scotland.....I took a pic on my iphone

Managed to sight it briefly tonight when there were short breaks in the cloud - I live west of Newcastle.

Some claim I fell off it and landed on earth the last time it was so close. Not true, as my ex knows - i'm actually from the planet Zog.

I can see it here. It's just the moon, no big deal. I'd say it was marginally brighter but that's it.

Cirrus

Saw it when I drove home from work, and later when I drove home from the studio. Looked like a full moon to me, nice and bright but definitely not breaking out into a new lunar paradigm or anything.

Jeez, imagine that, the Death Star filled with whining Scots and Darth Vader stomping about moaning with a strong Glaswegan accent 'aye this place stinks of pish'

Ah, "Star Wars: Attack Of The Clans" ?

This made me chuckle.

Did the Super Moon not turn out to be what you expected? Simply slap a tortilla wrap on your window for an authentic experience! https://imgur.com/gallery/4Pg79

I couldn't see the Super moon because it was all dark outside. 

ICBM

It did seem brighter than usual here, and possibly a tiny bit larger, but by the time I could see it it was very high in the sky so the apparent size was less obvious than on the horizon.

Much ado about not a lot, really.

Couldn't see the Apollo landing sites even with binoculars so I'm beginning to think the Moon landing conspiracists might be right.

Looked more yellow and detailed, maybe a tiny bit bigger but yeah, I looked for about 15 seconds and went back in.

Nothing to see here, just clouds.

Moon was pretty on Sunday night.  No moon yesterday and no moon tonight.  To be honest it looked the same as it always does and the UK is mostly lowland or housing estates so you'll never get to see a moon rise anyway unless you go to Norfolk or down the beach or something.  Jesus Christ, the traffic on the roads tonight though.

holnrew

I got a glimpse yesterday coming back from Gateshead. It was big. Later on at night with fog it made it feel like it was dawn. Confused birds started singing at midnight.

Sambostar

It was like Dusk walking to and back from the pub in the dark 8 till midnight, but no moon.

MagicPigDetective

Cloudy but there was a very high tide

Sporky

It's another Black Friday con. They claim it's super, but it's been superer several times this year already.

axisus

On the moon a little green man was going "feck, look at the size of Earth today!"
