It is to bad you couldn't have recorded it. My biggest experience was when I saw a orange moon in Kenya at a size as if it would be right next to our planet. I couldn't believe it at the time, but it was highly fascinating. I didn't need a telescope to see this though. |

Yep and WOW! I've seen the "Gash" on Mars. It makes our Grand Canyon look like a crack in the sidewalk.
And about every seven years, Saturn "flips" so instead of looking side onto a ringed planet, it looks like a round target...very cool. Every morning I check out the "Astronomy Picture of the Day" from NASA... http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/astropix.html |

There is a term for this, but I forgot as I was but a child when this happened over 30 years ago. Something with optical illusion or ???? I guess you would have to ask a astronomer. The moon isn't actually close to the planet in reality just the position or waves. I don't know but it was exciting at the time indeed. |

I did. It's amazing when you look at the moon, you have to keep adjusting it because it moves so fast across the sky.
