Two Moons? Did this video just prove it? | |

The street webcam obviously doesn't have decent exposure control so the moon image is "blown out" and looks round. That's why you've also got a big lens flare next to the street light. |
sunglassed woman User ID: 7248072 ![]() 12/20/2011 03:40 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Since the age of 12, I have been haunted by a very vivid, lucid dream where there were two moons in the Eastern sky. I can even remember the details. In the dream I knew it was Good Friday and, as I looked at the two full moons, I became frightened. Then, a voice was heard that said "prepare to meet thy God" and I began floating. At that point I woke and was really freaked out. I've often wondered about this dream and its implications. |

It's not blur (as in out of focus) it's overloading of the image sensor by too much light, which causes spill into adjacent pixels. Also known as "bloom". |

Yep - it doesn't matter where an object is in the frame, it's the amount of light that causes the blooming. You're getting the same effect from the street light, which isn't a huge glowing ball the size it appears in that image. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1286724 ![]() 12/23/2011 01:38 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | BUSBY - Residents of this small Australian town were shocked to see two full moons in sky! Tonight, there’s a full moon in Busby, Australia. Many residents were admiring it when at 1:20 a.m., local time, a second moon rose in the night sky. Residents couldn’t believe what they were seeing! Astronomers across the world were alerted to this sighting and have confirmed the existence of a second earth moon. “We have never seen anything like this before,” said researcher Rich Montano at the University of California, Los Angeles. “There had been some rumors that a second moon was seen over Hong Son, Thailand in 1967, but it was only seen for a few hours and only in that one location, but now everyone across Australia can see the second moon. It’s awe-inspiring.” Residents of Los Angeles, and the rest of the world, will be able to see the second moon with the naked eye as night falls. Busby residents are out in the streets staring up in wonder at the second moon. “It’s exciting, but also frightening,” said Carol McNulty of Busby. “It’s so beautiful, but what does it mean? Why did the second moon appear tonight? Why?” “End of times” fanatics are already saying that the appearance of a s second moon is signaling that the world will end. “This was predicted in the prophecy of Nostradamus in the 16th Century,” said Nostradamus expert Fred Desmarais of Lyon, France. “This is the quatrain he wrote predicting the second moon: In the sky a second light will rise Bring back the great King of Angolmois And with Toulouse, ten years after the shining Across the earth shall come the great flame” Demarais said that the rise of the second moons meant that within ten years of the second moon sighting, “the earth will turn into a ball of flame.” He was on a flight to Busby to speak with local residents and gather more information about this major event. Others in Australia believe this second moon is a hoax of some sort. “I bet that magician David Blaine is behind this. It’s the only explanation,” said Roger McMahon of Sydney. WWN tried to contact David Blaine, but he was not available. He was finishing his second month stuffed inside a refrigerator. NASA astronomers are studying the second moon carefully. The powerful Japanese telescope, the Subaru, is also focused on the second moon. When asked to explain this phenomenon the head of NASA’s Lunar Science Division had this simple statement, “We don’t know. We are studying it, but it has us all baffled.” While NASA astronomers are trying to solve this mystery, go out tonight and look at the second moon!
