Something Blue Behind The Moon

a reply to: rukia

that there is just about the way it looks if it was down on the right side.

dude that's sweet. You should totally play that game, btw. If you don't have it, you can get it on an emulator on your computer. Might be fun, ya never know

yea, back on topic.

It is clearing now in Boston. There appears to be a bluish tint on the waning side of the Moon.
Hard to see, still very hazy.

Just checking in. Pacific Northwest here on a clear night. No blue thing but she has that haze to her tonight that makes it difficult to focus completely.

Maybe it's the angle over here but nothing too strange to report.

it's on the list, but not on a phone. thinking about a nikon.
looking at a D3200, or a D3300, but i'm gonna have to give it to myself.

well it's getting late, and i gotta get up by 7 tomorrow got a family thing to go to, just went out and checked again and it still there. just about past the house and it seems to be moving down and towards the left.

if you go out the back door, and say you stood on the peak of the roof facing the moon as it raises it was on the right, now i have to turn my head almost straight up and it kinda looks like it had moved towards the bottom right more, which means it's going left.

i'm wondering if i get up early enough to see it go down, it will be in front of the house and will it be on the right as i'm facing it.

hound dog...thank you sir

I'm still sky obscured at 700 feet. heading towards broken...this is important whacha got here

day time and raining here so cannot observe however just a suggestion
as there seem to be several people that have seen "something"
perhaps there has been an impact event and its an ejecta plume
people are seeing that might explane the odd luminosity.

is there no one that can point a decent scope at it?
i have a 6in refractor here but the weather is against me unfortunately

a reply to: [post=20086496]ShayneJUK 6 refractor.....awesome

somethings up.....really strange tracking this thread

That's no moon... it's a space station.

well i woke up at 5:30 this morning went out and checked, it was gone.
the moon was almost down and something else i noticed all night the moon looked closer to a full moon.
but this morning when i went out and checked it looked closer to a i guess what is called a waning gibbous moon.



can't say i've ever seen that either.

anyway, i just wanted to thank everyone for participating in the thread and say it's been one of the most enjoyable ones i've ever been in and thank you all.

now it's off to my folks and face the music for being late to my pops birthday family day.

wow play this with frank ocean - memrise. Start them at the same time

The front of the moon is a hologram projection to cover up what is going on the surface. If you have a telescope with a movie camera connected to shoot a full moon you would get something like a lunar wave. It's a bar that will roll like a line going up the screen. It's like when you video off a TV.

Hope this helps let me know

Yea, it was clouds almost all night in Boston last night.
Had this stuff at the ready, but a no-go in cloud cover like that.



I hope some people were able to get a half decent shot of what ever that was, or at least alerted an observatory.
If any one did pic it, please post what you have.

Reflecting?! Off of what? The Firmament? Who is this at HowndDog's keyboard?

I've had the same issue over and over with the moon not looking the way it should for where it is in its cycle of wax/wane. A long time moon observer here.

Well, interesting read! Whatever it was, no view here, sadly. Too gloomy here to see the moon for a couple of days now. Normally, we have a good view from the LR window. Ah, well! Wish I could have seen this, whatever it was, though.

On the note of the moon phase seeming different than it should, been there, done that myself as well! more than once. Either too close to fill, or not enough, or seemed to change too fast, or something. Never could explain it. Till reading that you and another poster have had the same experience, I wrote it off as me being mistaken on the phase. Odd, for certain!

I'd agree with others, though - a report to a local observatory and request for information, would be a good idea, for all who could see this. Even if it is just some odd visual phenomenon, it'd be cool to know just how it worked.

I had a cool one the other day. Road trip, and the sun was actually out then, and something about the way the tinted side window glass and m sunglasses together caused this wild rainbow effect.



Nothing with the naked eye, or without both shades and window tint, but cool nonetheless!

Maybe what you saw was something of that sort. Curious, in any case. Never seen anything like that by the moon, and I have seen plenty of halos, eclipses, etc. Very strange!

Lunar projection from our planet one of the projectors were off alignment.

There does seem to be something there; it's broken the edge. I just took this. At 5 o'clock. I can see a face.

The blue projection screen was not lined up to receive the lunar projection that is covering up the alien and human base on the moon.
