Looking Back at the Super Moon

OK, I admit it. I have nothing to post about today just because my mind is on my grandson.

Therefore I thought I'd post these photos that Art took of the Super Moon last month when I was fast asleep. Ummm... I'm not a morning person.


It did look a little bigger, but since it was called SUPER moon, I was expecting something twice its size.

I'm sure this will remind Art of the first time I saw the Hope Diamond at the Smithsonian.

I waited in line to see it and was expecting something SUPER huge. I was disappointed to find not only was it not all that huge, but blue on top of that.

Ah well...

  2. I didn't have anything to post about, either, so I just mentioned the weather. Your supermoon is more interesting! :-)

  3. Yes. One needs special lenses and such to get those huge moon shots, Kay. Nice post though :)

  4. Lovely photos Art took. By the way the moon doesn't change sizes, it's our eyes and the horizon that make it appear to be larger there then in the sky. I had to take an Earth Science class for teachers and we had to measure the moon at horizon and high in the sky. No change in size! Quite a surprise for me.

  8. It was rather high up and not so impressive when I noticed it. I'm with you. There will be more to check out. Perhaps some day.

  9. Our super moon was a fizzle and not what I expected to see. When I think of the speed of light and how far other universes are away from us, the moon seems like a lost grain of sand. I was never able to see the man in the moon and still can't. I assume it is just me and my inability to see things most people say they see. Being an artist all my 82 years you would think I could make him out.

  10. I too thought it lacked a bit from the last one. I swear I have seen them bigger and closer.

  11. So the point you're making is that you're really glad you didn't wake up to see the super moon.

  15. I understand that so-called super moons are just a wee bit bigger than ordinary full moons.
