Hello,
See this:

I saw that right now. Earlier tonight, I had noticed that the moon was extraordinarily bright tonight and even hauled out my reflector to take a look at it.

In fact I frequently got afterimages while looking away from the telescope. It was that bright!

Gah, it is overcast here, but the Moon looked quite bright through the clouds.

Just got to the roof to take pictures of it.

That 10x zoom sure comes in handy.

For those who hate having to clink a link just to find out WTF a thread is about:

Tonight is the night of the "Wolf Moon" and it will be the biggest and brightest of 2009, sure to impress all of its viewers.

Once ever 29.5 days, the moon makes a trip around Earth. But, its orbit is not a perfect circle, but more "elliptical". Tonight is the largest full moon. "It will appear about 14 percent bigger in our sky and 30 percent brighter than some other full moons during 2009, according to NASA." (Wolf Moon, MSNBC)

Tides will also be higher and "luna"-cy will likely also be on the rise. So keep a close eye on your pets and an even closer eye on the night sky!

It was VERY green and yellow and bright and big through the clouds here. Much more wolfish like that.

This thread got this song stuck in my head (not that it's entirely a bad thing.... )
