I'm going to have to look. Hopefully the clouds will hold off and not ruin the view. The moon is always somehow prettier in the fall and winter timeOriginally Posted by papayahed
Wonderful view of the moon last night, Mars clearly visible as well, high tide in the estuary making a bright 'Dead Man's Candle' - the local name for the path of light from the moon reflected in the water, supposedly presaging a death if you see it, a creepy name for such a beautiful sight. But ten minutes later, the clouds rolled in and later in the evening we had snow - the moonlight over the snowy garden in the small hours was worth getting up to see however.
doh! Cloud cover.
It is isn't it? I think it's a conspiracy that the best time for sky watching is in the coldest part of the year.

"While we humans carry on with our daily lives down here on Earth, perhaps stuck in traffic or reading blogs, or just enjoying a Springtime stroll, a school-bus-sized spacecraft called Cassini continues to gather data and images for us - 1.4 billion kilometers (870 million miles) away". A friend of mine found this amazing set of pictures, and I just had to share it here:

Love those close-ups of the moons.
Thanks Claes, those pics are freakin' awesome.

I'm on the right side of the planet, but it might be too cloudy today.

I caught about two minutes of it until the sun set.
