Has anyone noticed that the moon is brighter than normal tonight ? Saw a bright object flying in the sky brighter than airplane in eastern USA.

This month’s moon turns precisely full on July 31 at 10:43 Universal Time – the standard clock time at the prime meridian of 0o longitude.

You mean near the moon? Every evening there are various satellites visible near dusk, and we were watching the moon from Chitown, here, and I fired up my Starry Night and saw quite a number of satellites near the moon.

I couldn’t spot any of them, though, because the moon is so bright! BTW, it will be at its mathematically fullest around dawn, 7/31, so all the newspapers say the full moon is on that date, but it is more full tonight than it will be tomorrow night ... “Trust me I know what I’m doing”

If you can narrow down the time frame, I can jump to the east coast in a click and take a look.

Oh yes, a oldie but a goodie.

Bet many here remember when that first came out.

Shanana perhaps did one of the best covers for that song.

LOL.

I am surprised how well I can see it here with all the haze from today being hot.

No I just thought the force of my will finally allowed me to achieve invisibility.

I drank myself invisible a couple times though...

So that’s where that story of the cow flying over the moon came from.

Not night time there yet, the moon hasn’t risen there yet ?

Overcast skies ?

I saw a object in the center of the sky if your look at it as a hemisphere, not near the moon.
