    Last Night's Moon UK

    Did anyone in the uk see the moon last night?

    I was driving home from Wales last night (which is a long sorry story but hey) and the moon (two days from being the full Harvest Moon) was HUGE! It was bright orange and about three times the size it normally is.

    Upon arriving a couple of hours later to my house I ventured forth to the back garden to contemplate life with some "oregano" and saw that the moon was back to normal size and a bright silver in colour. (Might be worth adding that it was this colour prior, during and after the oregano experience so it wasn't the well known visual impairement from this).

    Now, I'm no physicist and I've heard some crude explanations that this visual effect is to do with atmoshpere etc but none of those things really explain the differences that I saw last night. Can anyone validate this or care to speculate as to why I saw what I did?

    For no other reason than it is a lovely song about the moon and it has a autumn feel to it x

    It wasn't that colour in Italy. However, in the Bible there is a prophecy (can't remember where - my official religious days were long ago) that in the last days the moon would turn to red.

    Hi 777, interesting observations!

    The sky was overcast last night so didn't see a thing.

    I have been a moon watcher for over 30+ years - that is until it all started going crazy around 10 years ago where I would have full moon, then a quarter moon the next, back to full moon, then half moon - to no moon all in the space of 3 nights! Now that isn't suppose to happen, and my pagan moon charts became useless - and this has occurred too many times to count over the years.

    Then all this crazy stuff with the moon tilting in the past 3 years, and I mean really tilting! Then returning back to normal within minutes to sometimes 6 hours.

    It is getting more and more like the Trueman Show and the hologram malfunctioning - or sliding into other parallels.......

    Who knows????????????

    And then throw into the equation the moon being an artifact............ and all the other stuff that goes with that thought

    The mind just spins and spins.....

    The first time me & my mates went camping as kids (local fields) there was a huge red moon, it was so freaky the younger lads started crying and we had to go home

    Oddly enough I photographed the moon this morning in the west.



    This is last months full moon rising in the east, as you can see they are not the same way up !

    This is all so intriguing, I am wondering if those of you who can do remote viewing can you go check really whats going on? I am not joking even if you can't get good result or explanation at least it is another input into this phenomena.
