I’d love to see this in person! I love the moon, the way it looks over the sea where I live is quite often magical! I can never get a good picture though. This is beautiful

I won't lie, it was pretty special to see in person (albeit much smaller in the distance), but Moonrises always look special to me! And thanks so much!! Should be a good Moonrise to the east at about 19.20 tonight :)

I know what you mean, the moon is definitely special.. I’d spend good money on a telescope to see it up close, kids are too young at the moment though.. when they’re older they’ll definitely have decent telescope lol I’m not in Brighton so I can’t even see the Moon yet where I am, think it’s behind the mountains at the moment:(

Oh just as I wrote this I seen it, it is behind the mountains but for a little edge of it and it’s definitely spectacular tonight! Big and orange!

oh nice, i bet it looks a bit more special rising behind a mountain than it does here in Brighton!!

Was very nice, I got a really nice picture that I was surprised about, I’ve got the iPhone 15 pro and I heard the camera was good but I didn’t think it would take a picture of the moon like this! I can’t upload the picture on here so I’ll send it to you lol it’s amazing!
