(meteorobs) Big Bad mOOn
As regards to the moon , I was skeptic about seeing any difference at all ,
but yesterday night before attending to The Local Astronomy Society's
Christmas Dinner , we all agreed that the moon was surely a bit more
Brighter then usual .
I could not see any difference in size for sure , but the scattered clouds
and the whole sky was surely more illuminated with moonlight (no , I took
into consideration the light pollution too)
I agree with Jure that the moon is WAY TOO BRIGHT ... only that yesterday
it was *slightly* even worst !
Best Regards
Martin
P.s Thanks Phillip for your greeting card , I hope that all the dust that
fell off from that star while dusting it, would show up in January's Quads !
