Well the start of Spring was last night marked by the vernal equinox... and the other planet (the Moon) in the Earth-Moon Double Planet System is at its closest approach to Earth for 20 years... so it'll look a little bigger than usual.

So do get out and have a look.

Regretfully the features on Fullish Moons get washed out by the full-on light of the Sun, so they're not a good time to see craters and other detail.

I was referring to bomb craters on planet Earth!

The perigee moon. I saw it rise as I was driving East toward the coast. It was profoundly beautiful ... huge and golden ... and the craters were quite visible from my perspective. Una bella luna!

Let's Go for a Walk to the Moon.

It was huge tonight.... would urge all to get out in a few days time when the sunlight falls at an angle and causes shadows which bring out the details.

A small pair of binoculars will bring out many ,many features. Lean the binos against the corner of a wall to steady them, or on top of a broom stick.

Will be getting out my 8" later in the week.

(Bir... if you're in Oz, as ever... you have to do a hand-stand to get it the right way up)

... oooh we've got some music.

I would've been prepared to stand on my head ,Bill,but still no luck...
I enjoyed Filitsa's music video though...

Pame Mia Volta Sto Feggari
Let's Go for a Walk to the Moon

Three days I was se-, three days I was separated from you
Threes nights I sta-, three nights I stay on my own
Like the mountains, that stand now in tears
When they get ra-, when they get rained (by) the heavens

Refrain/Chorus
Chase away the sorrow, young lad
Let's take a walk to the moon

How may I go out and, how may I go out and walk
His words, his words to remember?
With the moon how, oh how may I sing
With the moon, how may I be solaced
