SUPER MOON - full moon on 14th November.

The last one of these I saw looked like a special effect CGI thing , very strange.

BIGGEST and nearest new moon since 1948 - Israel year.

Not since 1948 will the moon be bigger in the sky - All the astronomers will be out with their long telescopes looking up.

I feel that something really,really BIG!!! is going to happen during this SUPERMOON...On either Mon,Tue,Wed or Thu,I feel that I'm finally going to meet 'HER '.She will be The Dream whose love will make all of my other dreams come true.I feel this in My Blood,My Tears and My Sperm.

leaving on the next rain...

Train,zorro?...I need to travel to Warrington on Monday to possibly make a speech.Should I go there by train? Please ignore my question if you don't understand where I'm coming from.

most of the material that went  into orbit to form the moon was thought to come from THEIA(that's the planet that wacked the earth)
but neil Armstrong knocked that idea for six with his lunar  rocks samples.Califonia institude of technology announced that there was less that 1% chance that THEIA and Earth had identical isotopic signatures.
Neils lunar samples showed that the rocks from the moon had the same composition as rocks found on earth which conflicts with what is expected.

Very interesting.Thanks for that brassneck.

we will need to get some pics up just hope no cloud

Cosmic, can't wait.

Can I ask the OP what Jupiter entering Virgo has to do with his thread title?

Not one theory on the moon formation now? They had three theories before they went to the moon. Moon rocks rules those out. Then they re-examined the rocks for the new theory a couple of years ago as Brassneck said and that theory went south too. If you try to look up moon formation though, you'll still find the Theia theory on websites? It's only in the last 5000 years? that you get the eclipse affect with the wedding ring. Because the distance is just perfect to cover the sun, just so.

What is your theory?

A god made it? Which one?

Why does the Moon move 2.5cm away from the Earth each year? Why didn't a god make it perfect?

Zorro, you clutch at straws and take the straws you like and discard the rest. That's not how science works.

Neils lunar samples showed that the rocks from the moon had the same composition as rocks found on earth which conflicts with what is expected.Blush

Wasn't there a thread on Chit Chat recently saying the moon landings were a hoax?
Shurely shome mishtake

Oh yes, it was Brassneck's thread

this is brassnecks theory.the earth and the moon formed at the same time,both revolved around each other,but something happened our sister planet and it got stripped of all the earth has today.it then got locked in our orbit .remember the moon has an iron center.it would not have one had it being a lump  of our earth ,the fact that the moon has the same isotopic composition as earth proves to me that the moon could not have come from another part of the solar system because the isotobes of all other bodies in the solar system are different than earths isotopic signature.so the only answer is that the moon as it is today was once an earth like ours.
brassnecks theory=some day they will believe me.

in fact I will go further with my theory and state that the moon and the earth at one time long ago were identical but one developed an ozone layer while the other got stripped of its layers or outer shells.

Is it true or a modern day myth that there is more violent crime during a full moon?

HARVEST MOON not been this close since 1948 (Israel became a nation)

remember the STRAWBERRY MOON, in June. They said it hasn't been seen since 1967, then before that 1948. Anyone with history knowledge will tell you in 1967 Israel had the six day war and regained Jerusalem. In 1948 Israel became a nation. For the next nine months Jupiter(the kingmaker star) will remain in virgo. exactly nine months from now it leaves Virgo. the twelve stars are above Virgos head and in nine months time the moon is at her feet. Star map program(stellarium)is freeware. This assembly of improbable conjunctions never repeats it's a one time event. the program lets you go back in time and forward, thousands of years. 

book of revelation - Then I witnessed in heaven an event of great significance. I saw a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon beneath her feet, and a crown of twelve stars on her head.


Good night Vienna. boarding time soon.

He's mad I tell you mad - yep, and it's better than the Nihilism of nothing matters. That Darwinism is shoveling.

Beaver Moon

At it's closest the Moon is only 13% bigger than when it's at its furthest. If you put your thumb out at arms length you can cover the Moon's disc. That's how small it actually is in the sky whether a SuperMoon or not. All this Supermoon nonsense is just to drag the uneducated into starting threads about such topics.

ovalman ?

if you put your wife's head in front of the night sky? you can blot out a 100 billion stars...

simplification is great.
what's football about? 22 guys with a ball.
food.. it all comes out brown.
exercise... why bother.

Looked stunning tonight.

all these years looks i've been duped , i was thinking to myself last night that if the earth was a football , the moon  must be like 30ft away at a guess.

and yet looking at diagrams  it always looked like the moon was  about 3 ft away from the football  . 


240,000 miles away ,earth diameter is only  13,000 miles - so almost 20 times the length

I should explain the picture in case you weren't sure.

You can fit every single planet in between the Earth and the moon, with room to spare.

What about Nibiru?

No moon here

Been out twice already. Nothing to see yet.

I've seen it, just looks like any other full moon. 13% is only noticeable when compared in side by side pictures.

live moon watch - youtube

Been looking at the direction of my window for hours now and I still can't see no supermoon, but then I wouldn't, the curtains are still drawn

Just had a look..... It's quite clear here. The Moon looks very bright, but it doesn't look especially large to me

been out, up coast to Amble ,got some snaps and then clouded up

No moon here either, think the cheese moon mouse has eaten it

looks quite like any other moon  .

however ,i like the giant moon that is very low in the sky above the rooftops.

ja ja  - incredible how the moon can suddenly get  so near earth  during that time  -  a marvel of science .

i was told the moon landings were undertaken during such a time when the moon was something like 300 miles away .


couldn't have landed any other time .


so much knowledge to pick up on the internet

No moon visible here either but maybe sky seems lighter (under cloud cover) than you would expect this time of night / year.
Gutted about supermoon no show.

Missed nothing imo,just looked like the ..err ..moon ....kept looking..didn't get any more super..oh well.

Brits have taken to social media to voice their frustration at heavy cloud cover obscuring the supermoon - the biggest and brightest in seven decades.

It won't be like this again until 2034. As it draws close to Earth the moon appears up to 14 per cent larger and 30 per cent brighter than it does at its furthest distance.

nothing more to see.....

Perhaps it's just a sign of the times.

An enormous spider just ran under my sofa so I'm signing off. (not scared of it obviously, just want to give it some privacy and distance.)

Look quite Bright but no Bigger

just like the recent eclipse, a total anti-climax

Thought it was splendid and indeed bigger than normal which highlightes the different shades on moon,interesting spectacle imo

opened my window to see it more clearly at 4.30 am. It was going in and out of the clouds. was trying to set my camera to low light levels. i started to hear noises of someone out in the night air shovelling dirt? in their garden? great... a Fred West in the neighbourhood?

It did have an eery hitchcock vibe as it ducked behind clouda and reemerged imo
Big of you to at least open the window ,i went up to high peak and studied moon for 20 mins
Im going cinema tonight to see Arrival as moon seemed to want to communicate with me

Im not in uk though so mabey it looked better here in seast ireland

was out this morning at 5am  when i went for my early morning p iss

why is everyone going mad to take a blurry pic of this moon thing.

if you google it you can clearly see men walking on the fookin thing

Here's a question I always wanted to know, when you see the moon in England, is it the same moon that everyone else can see or do we all see different moons ?

must be different cos my kid says its made of cheese

Interesting fact I heard on a Podcast earlier, when the Moon is on the horizon it is 1.5% further away that when it is above you.

I just tried to chat up a young lady in my local 'Spoons using that line Ovalman...It certainly had an effect. Her eyes glazed over completely.  :(

saw it close up last night  -  moon came to within 54 miles of planet earth at Cirencester apparantly  ,almost touching distance

stunning
