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.

Along the Alabama Gulf Coast at 3AM on a very clear night it was very big and very bright. It seemed as if there were several streetlights on in my back yard it was so bright. And a very white bright light at that and looked much closer than usual. I wish I had taken a picture since Kathie is not usually up that late!

Seriously, I saw these pictures posted on Facebook of last nights super moon. I'm not sure of the exact location, but I believe the first was taken from VT. and the second from MA around the Berkshires. You'll notice that the poster of the second photo obviously did a little Photoshopping to add the dog (Daisy) in the moon! His site is presented as if it were the dogs and many pics include it's image as shown on the moon. Here is what he stated when posting the picture:
"I don't know!.... There's something strange about that Super Moon picture that Joan Reynolds posted. I know my eye sight is getting worse but I feel like I've seen this moon before. It feels like it's looking back at me! ♥"

Default i hadn't heard...

maybe i am the only person alive who had not heard about the super moon so when i was leaving cinco de mayo festivities at about 8:20, i was really flabbergasted by the moon, even stopped my car to view it over the mallory golf course between the beautiful palm trees from morse blvd....it certainly did not look like any other moon i had ever seen...lovely....later it was not as good!

We watched it all night but the clouds were so bad that it kind of took the super out of the moon

I remember a recent "biggest moon in the history of moons," and looked so forward to seeing it last night. But alas, I was in Norfolk, VA visiting relatives and it was overcast.

Tpop1,

What a great picture!! Here in the South Hills of Pittsburgh, the moon appeared very bright, brighter than the usual full moon, and a little bit larger! :-)

Tonight the moon was much prettier (in my opinion). It was a little lower in the sky and was a beautiful shade of yellow gold. It also looked closer to earth tonight than it did last night. Wish I knew how to paste photos on here.

Tpop,,, excellent photo of last night's moon.
