It may be too late for the fellows in the UK and east from there, but if you live in the US, go outside for once and look at the moon. It's pretty large tonight.

It's kinda cloudy here. ):
Yeah it's pretty cloudy. I think I missed it though.
It's raining
I see it fine, and it's pretty cool looking.
It doesn't look that big but man is it bright.
It varies from location I guess, but for me it was only about a half to 3/4 bigger than normal.
It's not as spectacular as some other ones, there's one in Germany that was pretty cool:

Thanks to my geological location I was barely able to see anything since we only have darkness for about 4 hours. Sadface.
but for anyone interested in astronomy or space, we have a space thread going on [url=http://facepunch.com/threads/1171448]here[/url].
:3
It was kind of disappointing. I see a few of them several times a year that are usually bigger than this one.

As the article said, the moon's enlargement is only about 14% bigger, hardly able to be noticed by an unaided eye.
It stormed all day today; I can't see it. :(

And then sea levels rise up exponentially
same size in socal but bright as all hell
the way it lights up the clouds is so sexy
Whenever I see a full moon, and tonight was no exception, I always quote:
"HOLY SMOKES! HOLY MOSES! LOOK AT THE MOON! FAR OUT!"

It's not that big here
It's impressive. I got a quick video of it, will upload tomorrow.
I can already see the left side of Postal's ass coming over the mountains.
Too cloudy to see :\
[QUOTE=Yahnich;35844018]I am not getting the people who are impressed by this, saying it's like the moon is gigantic. It's 14% bigger, barely noticable.
It's pretty bright though, the sun is rising here and I can still see the motherfucker.[/QUOTE]
I'd say that was pretty wrong. It was definitely bigger here.
I noticed that while I was out earlier. It looks pretty cool.
It doesn't look that much bigger in my opinion.
or it's just the way I'm looking at it

Virginia here. It wasn't bigger, it was yellow-ish
Florida here. Bright as fuck, actually a little painful to look at. Lit up everything real nice though.
Florida here. Just took this:

i was at the waterfront and i didn't even know that this was going on today
so like imagine me turning around and seeing this hugeass moon reflected over the water
poetic as hell, man
Not as big here, though pretty big relatively.
It doesn't appear any closer, but it is the brightest I have seen it.

Why a video? It aint going anywhere anytime soon.
