I didn't see the whole of it, not even a glimpse of last night's supermoon (the largest in 70 years). It was too cloudy to see it. This sums things up pretty well for me - I'm too gloomy to see much of wonder right now. I'm all out of tether and looking round for someone with a bit to spare. I was very grateful for a friend noticing and getting in touch to offer help. Friends are ace.
I was fascinated to hear an expert on the radio yesterday who said that the times the supermoon will seem biggest is when it is rising or when it is setting (couldn't be bothered to get up for that). The reasons it appears bigger at those times are not actually to do with astronomy, but psychology. When we have something to compare it to, (ie things on the skyline) it seems bigger than when it is alone in the sky. Interesting. Our minds are powerful entities.
