The mega-ginormous Supermoon thread!

[The Call of the Wendigo]

Is it tonight? I saw the moon last night - and it was full - but I couldn't tell if it was super yet.

Is this the "Super Worm Moon" that I keep reading about? I've never heard of a Super Worm Moon before.

I don't know but I don't like the sound of it.

I was waiting at the level crossing at 8.30 this morning, on my way home from Tescos, and the three-quarter moon was brightly visible in the morning sky. I love to see that, cos the dark half is blue instead of black.

#PinkSupermoon is trending on Twitter.

At first glance, it would appear there's going to be three supermoons this week.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

Alternately, it might be that there's on;y going to be two all year.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

We seem to have already had the first.
