  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 189 ✭✭McGarnagle92

    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 189 ✭✭McGarnagle92


    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.

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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,221 ✭✭✭BluesBerry


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

    This post is a humorous observation linking the word moon in the original post with the more vulgar definition of to moon whereby a person exposes their behind.

    Its the way you rell em.
