Same here.
Nice to see you posting, sam.

I didn't see the moon cos of the cloud cover in melbourne.
But on the plus side, it was 37 degrees today in the town i ran away from a month or so back (partly to escape the fucking relentless heat) so i'm not complaining about the weather.
Except for it hiding this alleged supermoon

The red moon caused by a solar eclipse that i saw 5 or so years back (december 2011? 2012?) on acid in the forest on the southern tip of western australia (by the Southern Ocean, which was the only thing separating us from Antarctica) with absolutely no light pollution was a moon visual experience that would be hard to beat.
I've always wanted to go to the moon, but until humanity has some major breakthrough in super-efficient renewable energy, i doubt people will be visiting the moon in my lifetime, if ever.

Or if they do, it'll only be the insanely wealthy who will be able to afford it.
But i can still dream...

The weird thing about the "supermoon" is that i read a dumb online tabloid news story about how these kinds of luna events are rumoured (by new age types i believe[?]) to cause a change in political and social epochs (the last time the moon was this close was 1948 - when the Cold War was taking shape - and causing natural disasters.

The natural disasters thing was a bit odd to read, as my housemate (a kiwi) had told me ~30min before that there'd been serious earthquakes in New Zealand.
And everyone's talking about world war III.

...but it's still a load of fucking bullshit.
I just i like looking at the moon. I'm a bit of a space case.

Tis' too cloudy in my parts :\
 
I'm glad that some of you got to see the Moon :) - it was really impressive. I wish I had taken some photos but I couldn't be bothered to dig the camera/tripod out.

Have a great day everyone

Was too cloudy to see almost all night here until sometime in the wee small hours - 4-5am - whereupon it was pretty spectacular. Didn't look very big cos it was so high in the sky at that point, but it was just sillybright. Much like a normal full moon on steroids. Perhaps unsurprisingly. Really was very pretty indeed though <3
 
It looked incredible from where I was. I had walked down to the beach totally unaware of the moon being a supermoon etc. Went for the sunset but ended up reversing course so I could watch the moonrise. The way it came up over the mountains looked like Spielberg special effect.
 
We had a lot of background lights where we were and it was a very foggy night so it would have been a waste of time driving into the desert or to the beach etc. It was still very impressive! I think our next show is in May (Aquarids) but my favorite is Perseid meteor shower - When we were travelling we did a ferry trip between Japan and Korea, we were laying up on the deck in the early hours and managed to see a few meteors which was pretty special.
 
Almost exactly a couple of years ago now, I was on a National Express coach travelling up the M1 in the late afternoon / early evening. It was dark out of the passenger side windows, but still light out of the driver's side windows. This was about as magical as a coach journey up the M1 gets.

I've since found out that this is called "riding the Terminator", and some people apparently pay very good money for the experience. And they don't even have Lauren waiting for them at the end :)
 
^ I had a similar experience driving in the Bay Area once at the opposite side of a day. The sun was just coming up in the east over the water creating a warm pink back by the airport and in the west the city was still sparkling in blue, illuminated darkness. It brought up a song by Susie Suh about driving along such a line....https://youtu.be/9plOmwplz4s


edit: and in case anyone is wondering how the hell can the sun be coming up in the east over the water when you are talking about San Francisco-- that bay cuts back behind the land creating all sorts of confusion.:)
