No, I wasn’t born then but am sure others will be along shortly who remember it.

No i was a few days old 😂

I was deep in revision for my University Finals and appearing on University Challenge. I wouldn't have been looking.

The moon does spin - very slowly. 🌝

If you felt giddy it's because the Earth spins fast. It's a wonder we don't all go spinning off into space. 🌍

Did anyone else see this? My friend Jay and I were coming home from school and saw the full moon spinning round.

What time did school finish?
It used to be 3.30pm and the moon didn't rise until 6.23pm so did you have detention?

Gosh Whingey that would have scared me - glad I didn’t see that ….

Well, one of my sons was born in April 1964, so I saw a few stars then.
But I didn't see the moon spinning...

I was 19 then so maybe if it was a friday night, it would have looked as if the moon was spinning...

What had you been drinking?

As moon didn't rise till nearly 7pm now I wonder what it was! Definitely saw craters going round then it stopped

Every where I haave searched , the information i straight forward. looked at from earth the moon does not spin.

However the atmosphere just above the earth and weather conditions can change the moon. For example at different times of the year the moon can seem bigger and smaller - sometimes in the course of one night. Colour alos varies from one moon to the next.

Three or four years ago, I came out of a local village church after a concert and there was a halo round the moon,, a thin white ring some distance round the moon. it was an icy cold evening and the ring was caused caused by the bending of moonlight by ice crystals in high-altitude cirrus clouds. These crystals act like tiny prisms, splitting the light and creating a circular ring around the moon.

It may well be that the spinning moon effect was also caused by some kind of meteorological phenomena.

I was just a few weeks sort of being born, then!

I was born in 1965!

I love the 60s. The music, clothing, general everything!

But at 3.30pm they would not have been able to see the moon, unless they were in orbit somewhere

Allira The moon can sometimes be seen in the sky when there is light.

In April sunset is usually around 7.30 - 8.30. perhaps they had detention or were on their way to night school.

The only thing I saw spinning in 1964 was the candy floss machine I was operating at Ventnor pier (holiday job)
I often saw stars because all the sugar particles gummed up my eyes and gave me conjunctivitis.

Health and safety would have a fit these days. 😮😂
