Did ya all see the Super Moon last night?? (hey sky,,,, no funny comments. ) It would be interesting to hear comments from around the country of what it looked like in your city.

I was rather disappointed of how it looked in TV. I thought it would be brighter and be more colorful (don't ask me why I thought that,,, maybe the romantic side of me.) It was nice, but not what I expected.

Comments????

It had a little orange tinge when it was on the horizon and even appeared even bigger at that point. After that it was more of a "So what" kind of moment. Just another moon when it got futher up, but brighter.

Same here in Il. It's always good to see a nice moon, but not what I thought it would be either.

I was expecting a "Cosmo's moon."

I thought it was breathtaking, especially when it first rose. It looked huge when it was on the horizon. Of course, running into a bunch of real nice folks from Buttonwood who offered to share their wine with us might have also made it seem special.

As usual, all the hype beforehand led to a disappointment here in Atlanta. To me it didn't appear to be any bigger or brighter than any other full moon. ~ shrug ~

Just spoke to our daughter in CT and she said it wasn't anything extraordinary.

I'm in Ohio and I thought it was spectacular around 9:30 as it rose. It was much brighter than normal and you could definitely tell it was larger, although not as large as I expected. I was happy I was able to see it. Mark another special experience off my bucket list. Around 11:30 I went outside and it didn't seem to be special.

OK! No problem! My head is allergic to rolling pins!

BTW, I can't give a legit impression of the SM since I didn't see it. I have a number of years ago see a super duper super moon. It was unbelievable! I could have sworn that the earth and moon were... aah... (dang, can't finish that description without getting funny)

I'm LMAO without even hearing the end of the story.... you're a riot.

But its amazing, the news programs showing scenes from all around where it was beautiful and I was so disappointed. Seems when it was rising or setting were the better views.

[zcaveman]

Back when I had Bartolomew we would take walks at night - both here and in NJ. All full moons are beautiful. The only difference between a regular full moon and a super full moon is that it is closer to earth. From the naked eye, there is not that big of a difference.

Ditto it was a bit foggy up here.....the actual super moon was NOT what it had been hyped to be.....due to weather conditions.......

It was Moon in Scorpio opposite Sun in Taurus.........

Moon in Scorpio is a very intuitive psychic placement.....

[ssmith]

In Indiana the moon was very bright but did not appear that much more spectacular than other moons. I did not see it as it hit the horizon.
