Looks absolutely stunning .
++ Lunar eclipse too!
Agree, looks brilliant.
Lunar eclipse ,what's that?
Shadow of Earth on the Moon
I can't link to it but NASA have a load of info about the superbloodmoon and the eclipse.
Looks absolutely stunning
The Moon looks completely normal to me, it's bright because it's a very clear night.
The blood-red eclipse is due to begin at 1:10am
EDIT : My mistake. Apparently it's 30% brighter because it's only 226,000 miles away.
EDIT 2 : That's 30% brighter than when it's the furthest away, not 30% brighter than normal.
It's bigger too, because its in the perigee part of it's elliptical orbit.
It's bloody huge. Wish I'd time take a pic but was in a hurry to get home.
Just driven down from Ilkley and it was stunning.
The Moon looks completely normal to me,
Thats a shame , still looks stunning to me .
Looks great here, my fiancee called me to the window to see. Beautiful sitting just above the moor.
I'd best set the alarm now before I forget.
What times the eclipse?
Peaks at 3.10am or around then.
Thats a shame , still looks stunning to me .
Only Ernie could argue with Mother Nature. 😆
Well no one told me that CheesybeanZ was Mother Nature !
Other than appearing pretty bright it doesn't appear that different to me. I suspect later on during blood-red eclipse it will be quite stunning.
Don't know where you live Ernie, but it's looking bloody huge up here in West Yorks.
Beautiful sight.
😐 < Completely unimpressed. The moon is cool n all, but it's maybe 1mm bigger than normal. And that's just a guess because you guys are telling me it's bigger. Don't you people have TVs?
Yep looks big and very bright. maybe ernie is on a different planet?
Don't know where you live Ernie
Well presumably further away from the Moon than you 🙂
It apparently appears 14% bigger than when it appears to be at its smallest, which doesn't sound like a massive amount.
Btw I wonder what David Icke is up to this evening ?
It's times like these I wish I had a bigger lens on my camera.
The difference:

Choose a part of your anatomy and imagine it 14% bigger 😉
Now imagine it's 30% better at 'shining'.
Thanks for the reminder - stunning
linky no worky
It's so big I can see the clangers.
should work now
What time should I set my alarm for? I don't want to stay up too long...
Whether or not you can see them by moonlight, I wouldn't leave them uncovered for long - it's nippy outIt's so big I can see the clangers.
The moon will be completely within the shadow from 03:11 to 04:24. The eclipse ends when the moon leaves the shadow at 0624.
can see the earths shadow going over the moon now. 🙂
I'm I the only madman staying up for this! 😀
Getting cold now and I'm down to my last beer. Worth it though, looks incredible.
Worth getting up for 🙂
It's grinning at me now! I may be a little drunk...
Epic. Not gone red yet thooo
Its going red now.
That is nuts
I really wasn't going to bother getting up glad I did now.
it's amazing man 😀
Pretty red! Mmhm might go to bed now. Work in 3 and half hours.
just went outside to have a look.
bloody hell the whole sky is glowing with stars 😯
the good thing is the streetlights are off for some reason,so can see the sky really clearly (no clouds at all).
ain't the universe amazing 😀
Worth getting up for. When's the next one?
I know one thing,
It's bloody hard to photograph without a tripod. With a wide-open aperture the exposure is a second and a half; impossible to hand-hold.
total eclipse wasn't great up here in, streetlights plus a high very thin layer of mist cloubd killed that a wee bit, going in and especially coming out of total eclipse was brilliant though.
last time i see one it was much much red-er. and that wasn't a super eclipse.
Think I'll keep an eye out for the next one and chrystal clear skies and head down to galloway dark sky park! 🙂
Despite almost every kitchen and outdoor light in the neighbourhood being on (why do people do that?) there are definitely more stars visible than usual. I managed to see part of the eclipse about 40 mins ago, through some trees, I think I missed it looking red
