BajaNomad - The One-Off Full Moon and Jupiter

The One-Off Full Moon and Jupiter

Gypsy Jan - 9-23-2010 at 08:27 PM

It's very clear tonight on the coast in Baja Norte and I have seen the rising, one-day-past full moon with Jupiter alongside.

What a lovely sight; crystal clear skies, a wine-dark night with no clouds.

Who knew?

They also say that with binoculars you can see Uranus.

Dave, I Think in Those Circumstances

A colonoscope is used.

Actually Dave, once in a bar long ago, with binos I thought I saw the full moon. But it was only Uranus!

Isn't it past your bedtime, children?

Moon and Jupiter are very bright, looking at them right now.

Ah how lucky you guys are, I wish I could have seen it, totally missed the full moon here, completely overcast, had yet another downpour with thunder claps that even made me jump, and I don't usually get skittish over such stuff.

Eli,
The clap is a serious issue, for sure

... it never made me jump, but a run down to the clinic removed that fear after a few days....

now, looking at Uranus would make me jump....a few steps back :lol:

Well Montaged, I am not clapping and Nope, got to say, I didn't see Uranus in the sky, but I have occasionally spotted it on this board. ;@)
