Buzz Aldrin owns the moon. We have him to thank.

McGarnagle92 · 11-10-2010 08:01PM

From were I am, it's very low down and basically beside the spire in Dublin ... I think it's strange anyway

Not as cool as last wednesday morning...earthlit waning moon in it's last crescent just a few degrees above the rising sun...saw it for about 20 minutes before the earthlight was drowned out by the sunlight.

Can't see it myself but have heard it said that a reddish moon means good weather on the way, probably an old wives' tale.

I thought it meant blood had been spilt. That's according to Legolas, so it's probably fact.

McGarnagle92 · 11-10-2010 08:19PM

Just looked again.... it's gone :eek:
I think there's just haze over it though.

I tried taking a picture from my window but it came out terrible and I got stares from people walking by

I'm not the neighbour hood peeping tom or anything :pac:

It's just a low moon, the Earth's atmosphere scatters the light and makes it appear red.. It's called a harvest moon

Someone post a pic.. I can't see it =p

"One time, i saw a man, looking at me with his eyes. then, he pick up a tube, and he look at me through the tube, and he made the moon big, inside the tube!
The moon, big inside a tube! hahaha!
Ahh... telescope."

Pfffft 'low moon', suuuure.
I think we've established it means good weather and killing.
They're causing all this climate change to keep the war machine turning.

^^^^ Ditto. The window's about four feet away and I only get to see a small part of the sky from it anyway.

POGTFO!!

MGMTea · 11-10-2010 09:24PM

the moon is a stupid name. every other planet's moons have cool names like Titan or summit. we should call it another name

BluesBerry · 11-10-2010 09:27PM

Nearly crashed the car tonight looking at it , it is beautiful crescent moon low in the sky

Linguo · 11-10-2010 09:28PM

What do you suggest would be a cooler name for the moon?

The Moon.
