Cool. Hopefully the clouds will dissipate and I will be able to see it.

Thank you for the info. The last few days the moon has been gorgeous, even though it wasn't full. A couple of days it was out in the early evening in a clear sky. Tonight? When I want to see the phenomenon? Total cloud cover. :P

Beautiful colors, Lilo. When I saw the thin sliver of moon last night, I was startled, b/c it was so big and hanging so low in te western sky and it was only about eight o'clock. If it was setting and had been overhead all day, I definitely missed it! Maggie. my cat. slept on my chest for 30minutes around 2 a.m., kept me warm, but she was heavy! :)

I read this on another site last night: December 12 Â The Full Cold Moon Sky watchers will be dazzled by an exceptionally high, bright, and large Moon. In fact, this Moon is 14% bigger and 30% brighter than other full Moons this year. Why? The Moon is both in its full phase and at a point in its orbit that is nearest Earth, called its perigee. When these events occur together, the Moon is closer to Earth than usual. The effect? The Full Cold Moon will appear especially large near the horizon as the Sun sets. The Moon is also high at this time of year; when it's overhead (near midnight), it will light up the landscape. Take a magical stroll and see your world at night. You won't need a flashlight! (farmer's almanac) I think I may go for a midnight walk tonight ;-) Patti Here is a link that might be useful: When the moon hits your eye like a bigga pizza pie .....

I didn't know there was going to be an eclipse and just happened to be in Cumbria Saturday night - it was a bit of a shock when someone stepped outside to smoke and called us all out because the moon was turning red! It was totally clear and the best eclipse I've ever seen, although it started raining sometime around 3am and didn't stop the entire way back down to London!

Thanks Patty! Will check into it! Love the star drapped sky, the moon.......I did smell rose fragrance in the air, have to find out which one........will report it back the rose name...... I think the fragrant roses are Intrigue and Miss All American Beauty. Beautiful scent! :-) If I see more these roses at Walmart next year, I'd buy them all! Miss All American Beauty was from Walmart, Intrigue roses were from Breck's bargain sales-5 for $19.99.

Thanks for the information. The moon was so bright at 4:00 a.m. PDT on June 19 that it woke me up as the light streamed into my window.

Dh called me from his nightly walk last night to tell me to look at the moon. Lovely. Thanks for the interesting info, Jim.

Last night's moon over northern Illinois was worthy of this title. It started out quite 'rose gold' and entangled in our sycamore.

The sunset Saturday night was also spectacular, with *neon* pinks and blotches of white against the clouds. It looked like something you'd see over the desert. We watched it for twenty minutes while driving north from the city on the Edens expressway.

Where are the pictures??? It was cloudy here so I didn't get to see it either. But it was spectacular the night before. I took this picture. I'm not good at taking pictures at night but the clouds around the moon were really neat looking.
