"Supermoon"

It is said to be HUGEEEE. and will never be this close again. I will go and check the BBC News site Sheila, Thanks.

Thanks Sheila, I shall be in buckinghamshire tonight -is the moon going to be any bigger from there? I will be at my sisters, hope I remember!

Thanks Sheila. I hadn't heard about this! I will look out for it tonight...wow, the pics are wonderful!

I did look when I went to bed, the sky didn,t look really dark but the moon seemed to be in cloud, the bbc pics are amazing

Yes its sunny here(shhhhh) dont tell anyone or it might disappear!! Going to try and mow the lawn. Will check out the BBC site soon.

I just saw the BBC site..

there is a section with peoples pictures on it, they are amazing...one of them looks just like Lil's photo.

what i like is they have pictures from all round the world.

Sticki, I just went to BBC news and on the side menu was a choice to see supermoon pics.
Great photos on the BBC site Sheila, I like the one with a tree branch across the moon. taken in Wales. Thanks Sheila, just wish I had seen it for myself.

That's the link Sticki...

Thanks everyone. Gran - there's still a chance to see a big moon tonight, if you don't have cloud cover.

We had our lovely sunny day yesterday here in the "middle" in the garden all day,rain back today!!! Will definately look out for that if skies clear thanks sheila hadn't heard about that....look out for werewolves (:0))

It was very bright in the early hours of Sunday, I looked out as I thought the neighbours light had come on, will look out tonight however its a very cloudy wet day at the moment.....

Sheila I will go out and peep! Thanks.

Fingers crossed :))

It was a fab moon!! I lit the outside chimney and drank some wine!

Wow - good for you!

Might post a pic of the fire!

No moon here tonight, very cloudy :~( but I got the lawn mowed today Yay !!

Yay indeed! It's growing quick!

On the 5th to the 6th of June you will be able to witness the transit of Venus across the sun...It will not happen again until 2117...get ready.

thanks pimms

How amazing Pimm's . . . could it be any time of day??

Venus appears as a dark spot in front of the Sun, it will begin at 22:09 GMT on 5 June 2012, and will finish at 04:49 GMT on 6 June.

Not good to look directly at the sun though..

what will it look like to us? do you think there will be a web site showing it??

What about looking through smoked glass?

or mosaic glass?????????

I think a Polarised or dark filter would be ok..

I thought the sun would have set by then??

darn it just realised that Sheila...Good job someone has their their witts about them...Lol. Be a Tv job then, never quite the same...Got a Sunrise time on the 6th as 04:45am so not really possible :(

Bit of a mystery, isn't it. Maybe Venus should cross the moon instead?!
