I believe that tomorrow night's full moon will be spectacular.

Can anyone shed more light on that?

Just had a look at the moon and it looked like it might land on my lawn.

I do believe that tomorrow's full moon, according to Radio 702, will be spectacular.

I think it is because the moon is at one of its closest points to the earth.

I saw an article on News24 this morning about it, cannot find the link now, but it said that the moon would be closest to earth around 5am on 6 May.

Snap EJ!

EJ, I heard mention of 16 degrees.

Even tonight, the moon looks close.

For photographers, a great opportunity.

Hey MM, a lot of chit chat not related to the forum. Is it allowed?

Please inform mods!

Is this the link you were looking for DB????

News24 full moon article

No problem.

Does the moon look any different to you tonight Theuns?

On Sunday 6th May at about 05:33, at this time the Moon will be 357 000km from the Earth.
Where will the moon be at that time?

Is this just in SA....or worldwide?

It should be setting by then, if not set already. On the night of the full moon the moon rises approximately as the sun sets, and so in the morning it will be setting as the sun rises.

Moon Set : 07:38
Rise: 18:16.
As for Cape Town.

Moon Set : 04:24
