Guest placidburp Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Just looked outside through the upstairs window in my house and saw what I thought was the pub that I work at on fire!! A massive orangey/red growth on top of the roof! Then to my amazement (and slight disappointment) I realised it was actually the moon! It's fucking MASSIVE!! Why does this happen? It's so beautiful...expect some pictures when it gets high enough to take some. cool story bro etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rambo Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 look for an orangey looking star above it, its mars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest placidburp Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Just looked out again and its kinda shrunk, still huge compared to normal, but its lost the orange tint, now its a brilliant white colour. There is a really bright white dot quite a bit above it...I'm guessing that's Mars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Masonic Boom Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 I want to see the moon! But that would involve going outside and it's freaking cold. Is it full? Is that why tempers are running so high around this place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chenGOD Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2010/01/100129-biggest-full-moon-2010-mars/ LOL I love how that article has a picture of the moon over Vancouver Island. The cloud cover here was so thick last night you could barely see the moon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest vodor Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 the image of the moon isn't actually bigger. it's an optical illusion. it just looks bigger because it's near the horizon, so you have points of reference to compare it to, and it makes your brain feel differently about its size. measure it. it's true. ruler out at arms-length, and be amazed. and it's redder when near the horizon because the light is travelling through more atmosphere, and atmosphere scatters blue light more easily. the moon does change size in the sky, but you wouldn't really notice, and it takes much longer for the size change to occur, because its apparent size is related to its distance to earth, which changes as it orbits the earth (takes approx 1 month).
