Uplooker Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Well, I have not been out under clear skies for absolutely ages. I have been watching the sky all day today and seeing it improving all the time. Typical that I need to bed down early tonight as I am more tired than a tired thing and have a very busy couple of days at work this week. Decided to take a look outside at what might have been. The moon is rising and flooding the sky with light. Looking at the nearly full moon I could suddenly see the Man in the moon! I know others who see it straight away, I never could, but tonight it was really obvious. Another 1st in astronomy for me ? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must say, it would be a first (almost) for me (this year) if I could see the sky at all. Looks, tonight, as though 'the north' is faring better than here in the mid-south (if there is such a place.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeSkywatcher Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Us astronomers often cant see the wood for the trees, so i respect your honesty on only having seen "the man in the moon" tonight. He only shows his face on a full moon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it may have been helped by the fact that I am so tired that I was not looking intensely nor actively looking for the Man, thereby it just appeared ?

LukeSkywatcher Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 (edited) We all see the Moon differently. If you Google "man in the Moon", you gets lots of variations (some extremely creepy). This one for me is about the closest as i see him but even this image has been retouched to highlight the features and make it more human. looking at this image...........its very creepy.
