Full Moon on 19th
- 19 March 2011 20:2897669Beautiful. It's still not visable here yet, will try and grab a pic when it is. Probably won't appear so orange though as it will be higher.
- 19 March 2011 20:4297672Not very good, I missed the best chance earlier.
As I speak the moon is directly above the castle from my back garden.grass grows by the inches but dies by the feet. - 19 March 2011 20:5397674You are making me jealous, still can't see it here yet!
- 19 March 2011 21:4397683It's here, really big and bright!

Full Moon, England getting scortched by Ireland.

x - 20 March 2011 13:3897782I walked into daughter Saskia's room last night to draw the curtains and was struck by the extraordinary beautiful sight of this amazing Supermoon nestling so close to our beautiful illuminated Dover Castle last night

21 March 2011 20:4197977bad news on this front.after two fine displays over two nights the seems to have disapeared. - 21 March 2011 23:4898023It's still there, just came out to play a bit later...
Been nice knowing you :) - 22 March 2011 00:0298027There was a Daily Mail article two days before the Japanese earthquake and tsunami, discussing whether the increased gravitational pull of the moon at its perigee might be a factor in triggering such events. Interesting stuff.I'm an optimist. But I'm an optimist who takes my raincoat - Harold Wilson
- 22 March 2011 00:1498028Well if the moon can cause the immense amount of sea to move with each tide, then it must have some sort of force on the tectonic plates and the magma (said in a Dr Evil way!) below... ?Been nice knowing you :)
- 22 March 2011 09:0898044And speaking of tides..the moons pull is clearly having an effect as the tides are very low at the moment, you can walk quite a fair way out should you incline to do so. This picture below was taken just a few minutes ago and reveals all the seaweed usually lurking beneath the surface.
also one of the moon itself early morning yesterday, or was it the day before, just about to slip below Western Heights as a misty Dover wakes.
