wvu80 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 OK, I fully admit that is the brightest thing I have ever seen in the night sky. It is beaming like an LED headlight! Here, I took a picture: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark The Moon has not been this close since 1948. I suspect that the moon you saw last month was rising and close to the earth's horizon when you saw this. It is essentially an optical illusion. Last night's Moon is 20,000 miles closer to the earth than the average distance. This makes the moon appear to be ~15% larger. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, I think my wife still talks with him a little on facebook. Funny guy, he scared my wife once, he posted that computer link where you stare looking for a ghost and a face pops up and screams, she flew off the chair in a panic and I couldn't stop laughing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
