Supermoon Over Glastonbury Tor

Posted by Greg at 22:43, 20 Mar 2011

Well, Saturday night's 'Supermoon' didn't tear the Earth apart (unless you include the previous week's earthquake) or unleash a lycanthropy pandemic upon the globe. But it *did* offer a lovely photo opportunity - check out this wonderful image of our lunar partner rising over the iconic Glastonbury Tor (click the image for the superlarge Supermoon version:

I tried to get a cool photo of the moon last night but a cop pulled me over and it got to dark to take a photo with the camera I have :P
No ticket at least

...I forgot how I got here but everyone seems to be heading off in that direction. I hope someone brought food. I have a feeling this is going to be a long journey................

It was very bright here, so I had trouble sleeping.

Also this little app on my computer told me the moon had been getting closer the last 10 days or so. By about 4,000 km per day. So at that rate, it would hit sometime in late June.
