What did I see in the sky?!?
While I was driving today around 10am I saw what I believed was a full moon....and it was somewhat near the sun.

I watched as this full moon was covered by passing clouds.. Here is the strange part either this "full moon" was moving closer to the sun....or the sun was moving closer to the "full moon" but anyways they cross paths...

It was possible to watch because of the clouds that were kind of suppressing the sunlight. The "full moon" disappeared when they crossed paths and the sun shined brightly as the clouds uncovered the rest of the sun.

I looked away and gave it a minute...and I was able to see the "full moon" again on the other side of the sun..

After a couple minutes the "full moon" object was gone....maybe it got lost behind some clouds but I couldnt find it. This was in a matter of aprox. 5 minutes.

I dont know to much about this kind of stuff so I just wanted to throw this out there maybe someone can clear this up for me. But if the moon passes the sun isn't that a lunar eclipse but what I saw was not a lunar eclipse I saw the sun shining bright.

I didnt have my phone on me...which I definitely regret because man I would have love to catch this on video or at least a pic. Tomorrow I will look around the same time to see if I see the same thing.

When I got home I checked what kind of moon phase was today and it was not a full moon. Just wanted to get some answers...and like I said I dont know anything about the sun and moon phases so be gentle....but whatever I saw...this was the first time I have ever seen this.

Sorry I know its hard to work with...without a picture to go by....I will try again tomorrow...and have my camera with me.

Thanks greatly appreciated!!hf

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??

WOWWW!! Yes what I saw was very similar to these in the video.
They crossed eachother exactly and you can tell the Sun was bigger and brighter....and I at first I thought it to be a full moon but something was not right about it.

Thanks for the Video!!hf

Re: What did I see in the sky?!?
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.

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...

I know what you mean....I started noticing Venus about a year ago...its hard to miss...I cant believe I never realized or paid attention to it....and this is that I love stargazing when I get the chance...nothing fancy though just love to see the stars.

I hate when people tell their dreams, butI have had another dream 4 now of seeing 3 huge planets in the sky. Last one was last night, maybe not planets but looked like suns or planets, maybe ships
