Full Pink Moon Tonight.

Not that it's pink, but may actually have a pink hue due to the eclipse.

Aaaah, that explains why it was a slightly reddish hue earlier. Was quite large too, a real harvest moon (well...technically it's not a harvest moon because it doesn't take place near the autumnal equinox...but it was as big as one thanks to the moon illusion). Very pretty.

You'll also be able to see Saturn, upper left of the moon. Should appear yellowish.

Will have to get the binoculars out, my long range eyesight is pretty terrible.

We've got the telescope set up, more for Saturn, but the rings probably won't show good until the 28th.

But no matter how big it seems, you can still cover it with your little finger held at arm's length.

Steve, we're talking about the moon here, so please don't jack the thread over your....issues.

Oh... well then. Never mind. Apparently it's just some kind of astronomical event.

From the thread title I thought maybe Reece got loose and was out wandering the neighborhood sans pants again.
