BREAKING: Moon is too bright here over europe

The Moon can be bright enough to read by. This really isn't anything new.

It's amazing what happens when you look up at the sky nightly.

[link to en.wikipedia.org]


"–4.00 Faintest objects observable during the day with naked eye when Sun is high"

Each grade of magnitude was considered twice the brightness of the following grade (a logarithmic scale)

Meaning something of -4 can be seen in the sky even with the Sun overhead, and an object of -12 magnitude (rounding down) is 256 times brighter. (Closer to 512, but I think you get my drift)

Shillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll​lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll​llllllllllllllllllllllll

Remember the sun is brighter now so it makes the moon brighter.

Its more of a white light then yellow orange.

Amazing info on the apparent magnitude, thanks!

Also, I noticed some weird double glaring when I looked directly on the moon. (I was outside, so I didnt look through a window)

Weird.

The "moon' Is a Projection. That why wen you "lool" at it today LOOOOOK you can see the blue and red in the huge "halo" those are "projection colors :)

Dont fall back to sleep so easy

Amazing how much power the Wiki Quote Trolls have over real data

Why would the sun be brighter now?

I've never seen the moon of yellow colours?

Yeah, don't let those pesky facts keep you from being paranoid.

Must be the space nazis using floodlights on the moon.

Allright, I just noticed that the dude was shilling, fuck him

It's because the Mega Hologram the Moon is!

its a hologram...DUH

How do they do project it?

The sun is too bright. The moon is too bright. But mankind will never be.

I apologize for believing you to be a rational human being. You were actually looking for someone to agree with your preconceived notions, even though they were grossly uneducated ones.

I thought you actually wanted to know about what you were seeing, but if you are willing to believe the moon is a holographic projection....uh well ok. Good luck with that one.

Exactly how was I shilling? What am I trying to sell you here? Nothing. I provided you with links to research it yourself. These are easily independently verifiable if you can do any sort of math.

What are you doing here then? This is a conspiracy forum for lunatic fringes where we People research every possible theory. And I don't trust wiki trolls like you or Nasa which is known as "Never straight an answer.

Not even sure what you're meaning by this. Plus the OP already stated it was "getting dawn" ala predawn light plus the moon in the sky at the same time, easy enough to be extremely bright out.

There's no mysticism or magic behind such a phenomenon. If it was really that absurd, billions of people would be flooding these boards.

No. I've never seen such a phenomenon in my life where the moon makes the predawn sky look bright like DAYsky. Explain this please

You even described yourself as "lunatic fringes"... do you not see how that is dripping with irony that you won't take science itself over your own personal feelings?

I'm here to speak on behalf of rational people, since that is needed. You asked a question, I gave you a honest, reasonable answer, one you can research for yourself. It requires no magic, no spells or conspiracies. I actually gave you the tools to do your own critical thinking on the matter, instead of feeding you a line of BS(the Moon is a hologram? Come on...).

I'm here because of the following:

"Science literacy is a vaccine against the charlatans of the world that would exploit your ignorance."

You want to know who are shills? The doomsdayers. They tell you the world is going to end, unless you pay $59.99 for this book that tells you where the safe areas are and what you'll need to make it in the coming age.

Wheras I offer knowledge for free.

This site is like junk food. Tasty in it's own way, but hardly nutritious. Science, actual science that is. Which is far more opened minded, offers something nutritious for those neurons of yours. I'm just helping others get a balanced diet.


That and I sometimes crave the junk food. Same reason why if I'm in line I might read the tabloids. They're hilarious, absurd, and not based on reality.

You did today, so actually you have seen that.

Again, you can easily track, read, and do most daytime activities under the light of a full moon. Plus you had predawn light to work with. You are basing your observations on what you perceive to be weird, without researching the phenomenon at all yourself.

Get off your high horse first. What the fuck are you doing on GLP then? We research every possible explanation for every possible theory. You want to know which people are really dangerous? people like you who refute every other theory that the common scientific world acknowledges.

Ok, so looking at it right now from western France and it is quite a sight, crystal clear and very bright, and the sun has just gone down. Also looks fabulous because there is a planet (I guess it is either Jupiter or Saturn) of to the right hand side looking east from where we are.

Ooooooooops, should have said left hand side of it.

The fact that I've seen it today for the first time makes it even more suspicious. Never seen such a thing before. Explain in then. Mister high horse scientific.
