(OP) User ID: 49823106 United States 12/04/2013 05:17 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to curious.astro.cornell.edu] This site says: You will almost never see the full moon and the Sun at the same time. The reason for this is that all the planets, Moon and the Sun lie in a plane in the sky called the ecliptic and this plane is tilted to the Earth's equator by about 23.5 degrees. On full moon day, the Moon and the Sun are roughly (not exactly) on opposite sides of Earth.... What was I looking at then??? Anybody else seen something like this with the naked eye?? |

(OP) User ID: 49823106 United States 12/04/2013 06:36 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I saw the same thing two days ago out of my window. No joke. I assumed it was the moon (although I got a strange feeling when I saw it?!), but it went behind a thick cloud cover just a split second after I saw it, and then I meant to look for the moon elsewhere in the sky, but forgot. Quoting: UnmannedAerialPilot We have been having crazy clouds here in Ohio recently, almost every night and every day. Now that I see the moon phase chart, I am really wondering what I saw?! Thanks for that...I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking it was the moon...which I highly doubt now... |
