Mowgli1647545497 Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 You guys do know "closest ever" means like less than one tenth of one percent closer? WAY less. But hey take some pics of that shit, just dont scratch the moon with your lens.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam1647545489 Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 I bet a fun thing would be to go way back in time to where there was going to be an eclipse and tell the cave men, "If I have come to destroy you, may the sun be blotted out from the sky." Just then the eclipse would start, and they'd probably try to kill you or something, but then you could explain about the rotation of the moon and all, and everyone would get a good laugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hey take some pics of that shit, just dont scratch the moon with your lens.... Uhhh, it'll be anywhere from 15,000mi to 30,000mi closer which will make it appear approximately 14-30% larger, depending on where it is in its revolution tonight.

XChris1632X Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Where I am at right now the skys are almost 100% clear almost all the time. Tonight I saw a significant amount of shooting stars. I have no cloud cover but there is a city with 28mil people in it about 30 mins aways so there are some light issues.

No. And no. You fail science, math, and analytical reading. Heh, I said anal. Step 1: Understand Journalists fail the first two in collage. Step 2: Realize most journalists are retards when reporting science. Step 3: PROFIT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGhost Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Looked pretty big to me, But I have seen it look bigger when it first rises though sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
