Thanks for that. I was hoping to see the Leonids (sp) last night but it was cloudy.

Yes, looking forward to it with fingers crossed. Believe it's called a beaver moon.

I went out into the road in my dressing gown to see if I could see anything, but sadly not, it’s too cloudy, I’m disappointed.

Ooh thanks, I'll go for a walk and hope its not cloudy grin (It is at the moment at 08.24am)

Can't see anything here in Germany as the moon has already gone down for today.

I am shocked that it is not even mentioned on the BBC news - I scrolled down the science page right to the bottom, past the squirrel stuck in a birdcage and there was not one single mention. Am watching it on YouTube

Its very cloudy here and has been all day. I have been out some hours and not seen the sun break through once! It's not usually this cloudy.

Not a cloud in sight, so should be perfect.
And we have NO light pollution at all up here in t'mountains.

tanith Fri 19-Nov-21 18:25:40

I think you’ve missed it Kali2 it was last night and early this morning (Friday).

MayBee70 Fri 19-Nov-21 19:07:27

I was up at 7 and saw nothing confused

Kim19 Fri 19-Nov-21 19:17:36

I was in and out of bed repeatedly but, sadly, it was too cloudy.

Kim19 Fri 19-Nov-21 21:00:46

Well...... have to say I was disappointed this morning but that stunning moon I can see out there right now makes up for it. Amazing.

Grannybags Fri 19-Nov-21 21:04:10

Too cloudy here too but there was a lovely photo of it during the weather forecast on BBC this morning

I love the thought that it is the shadow of the earth on the moon
