Oh no....but I am sure some glow must be visible through the clouds? There'll be another chance tomorrow. It's morning here (10:51) but the moon should be closer to us tonight. To the naked eye, 1 day wouldn't/ shouldn't make a difference, right?

This is what I saw at around 7.30pm on my walk:

 

 

It looked much better in real life though.

its very cloudy here but I can tell its a lot brighter than usual

I just looked. It's big and bright. I wish I would have looked at it when there was still a little light. It would have looked better. Since light is reflecting off of the moon, I've always wondered... when the astronauts landed on the moon... did they have to land on the dark side of the moon? Can someone please let me know.

They just said they landed on the dark side, no one can prove it...

Praise Jah! Reminds me of our song this week:  "Father, all your works exalt you. Earth, moon, and stars your glory proclaim." This is why we will never be bored in the New World. I love celestial stuff! I was hiking with my big puppy Captain America in the nature preserve, and saw the moon, it was so huge and so close I gasped! They say the range between Earth and the moon is normally about 221,208 and 252,898 miles. And this month it will be as close as 221,524 miles which is why is looks so fat and so bright. But that's not all they say. The supermoon creates "king tides" from the combination of gravity from the moon and sun being so close to the Earth. I can't wait to see the next supermoon on November 25, 2034...sure hope we will be in the New World then...

We had thick clouds all evening and all night. I didn't even get a glimpse of this spectacular event....I hope to get a chance to do that tonight. The photos on CNN are just amazing!

They are awesome aren't they! Makes me think of King David...Looking up at the sky and viewing the wonders of creation..Still some can say "there is no God."

Amazes me how much detail of the surface some Supermoon photos show.
