Still, it wouldn't have been as impressive as it was 3.5 billion years ago when it covered 1/3rd of the sky.

That's scary!

A bit blurry, try holding the camera a bit more steady.

Supermoon

Saw it low over the Severn Estuary going over the bridge this morning, looked impressive.

The best time to see it is around 5pm when it's rising then you get the full effect of the huge moon. I saw it on Sunday and it was pretty amazing just over the horizon I wasn't aware there was a super moon so I was quite surprised. I went out a few hours later later to have another look but it seemed a lot less impressive somehow. I would recommend finding an open space early evening just before dusk to get the best view.

Can't see it here tonight but go an excellent view last night, only a sliver off being full so really not much different, and very impressive.
