Howl at the Moon! (Page 2 of 2)

Now that I would have loved to see George! 

We had another dazzling moon last night (yeah I know it's the same one but you know what I mean ) and we had a light covering of snow during the evening. Outside was almost like daylight!

Might this be why?

AH-ooooooh, Werewolves of London!!!! Had to throw that one in Sis. That moon is beaming brightly over the marina in my front yard while Karen's newborn grandaughter Danielle is sleeping right through it all.

In addition to the Full Harvest Moon falling on the Autumnal Equinox, there's a couple other cool things going on right now too.  Two nights ago Jupiter was the closest it's been to Earth since 1951, and it won't be this close again until 2022.  Right now it's the brightest object in the sky other than the Moon (and probably what Rick was referring to as Venus... I had assumed the same thing until recently).  You can see it rising in the East at sunset and setting in the West at sunrise.  Using just binoculars, you can see its 4 biggest moons.  What's more, Jupiter is currently aligned with Uranus, which you can also see with just binoculars as a faint bluish orb nearby Jupiter.  Actually, the Sun, Earth, Jupiter and Uranus are all in alignment right now.  Here's an article from the other day:

Can't believe I found this thread. Brightest moon of the year this weekend.  Time to don those garlic necklaces
