11. It's daylight. You mean it's out during the day? I guess I could go look. nt

[elleng]

13. Its often visible during the day!

[Systematic Chaos]

15. A supermoon is a full moon, and therefore by definition cannot be visible during the day...

...except for the cases of extreme high and low latitudes.

The moon is 180 degrees opposite the sun when full, so it rises when the sun sets and sets as the sun rises.

[elleng]

22. Saw the moon in Florida a couple of days ago,

during daylight.

[Systematic Chaos]

34. The moon wasn't full a couple of days ago.

[elleng]

36. Right, it was approaching full, waxing.

42. I went out and looked last night. It was a very full moon, all right. Beautiful.

It didn't look larger, though, if it was supposed to.

[Voice for Peace]

21. Thats awesome

I hope it looks as good as this, for where I am, three hours to wait.

[nashville_brook]

26. it was weird, here...it was over the horizon for 5 minutes before it became visible

mixture of haze and smoke from the brush fires, probably.

good luck with your viewing!!

[barbtries]

44. nice shot

last night in Raleigh it rained. then we forgot. will it still be huge tonight?

[rppper]

45. looked the same here in daytona beach...

crystal clear night by the ocean....lit up the sky!

[Arkansas Granny]

23. We had clouds earlier today, but it's clear now. The moon is spectacular!

[Blue_In_AK]

24. Very overcast here, unfortunately.

I was hoping to photograph it.

[seabeyond]

25. over cast here in amarillo tx, but sure is a supermoon. over cast isnt bad, more

like a witches moon the way the clouds are drifting over.

[matt819]

27. Crystal clear in southern New Hampshire (nt)

[spanone]

28. clear in nashville...incredible moon!!!!

[limpyhobbler]

29. Just saw supermoon

It seemed a little brighter than normal but that could be partly because I'm used to city moons and it seems brighter out here in the booneys? Southeastern Ohio.

Pretty sure I've seen super-er.

Still, hey, free supermoon, can't beat that.

[RagAss]

30. Photo from my backyard

[FrodosPet]

43. I think my camera is broken

This is what I got:

[burrowowl]

31. Saw just the beginning

Then it hit the clouds, in Albuquerque.
Hope there is rain but I doubt it. Just a mud rain: sandstorm with 12" rain (between the drops) and voila! Little mud spots all over.

[Irishonly]

32. clear here and it is beautiful n/t

[LadyHawkAZ]

33. Apologies for my lousy phone cam

Moonrise over the Wasatch:

[elleng]

35. Looks good to me;

no apology necessary!

[Zorra]

37. N. Central AZ - The moon is lovely. The sky is crystal clear.

The light from the big moon and billions of stars illuminates the desert as brightly as the sun's first morning light.

It's so beautiful, I wish I could post it for y'all.

[Grassy Knoll]

38. Reno, NV. looks Great, about the size of a quarter.

[joshcryer]

39. Pfft, the moon was super last night, too.

And it's super most nights if you ask me!

Why do people only care about the moon when it's in the headlines!?

[elleng]

41. I care about it every night; just couldn't resist 'Its SUPERMOON' headline!

Was in Florida a few years ago with my folks, and my nightly exercise was to walk along beachfront, at which time I began seriously to appreciate its beauty.

[Cali_Democrat]

40. No overcast here!

Damn it's bright as hell!

[Canuckistanian]

46. My Place!

Clear, cool night in Ottawa

[MineralMan]

47. Certainly not where I am.

I never get to see cool stuff.
