Here in NE UK we couldn't see it because of cloud, but we had an almighty
thunder and lightning storm and downpour.

Well although disappointed that we didn't see the moon last night, I'm pleased for those of you who did.
When grandson was young, he and I always used to go out to watch these free spectacular displays.
Meteor shower next month, I believe. Maybe we will have clear skies for that event.

Typical

The moon was shining brightly (and silvery white) in a clear patch of sky through my back bedroom window at 3 am! :-| :-|

Murphy's Law :-D :-D :-D :-D

Well I'm glad that it wasn't last night!

Thick clouds about and the moon not even visible, just a hazy light in the sky :-0

As the sun went down and the moon came up, for an instant the Sun, the, Moon, Earth, Mars, Venus and Saturn were in a straight line !! How often does that happen ?

It is amazing how the astronomers have so much information regarding the Sun's Planets enabling to look at the information as if from a distance and being able to see
an almost straight line through the majority. Especially given the huge of each from each other.Those same astronomers can tell you where they will be next year, a thousand years from now, so precise is their motion.

No mention of Planet X that has been in the news or "fake news" a lot.
