I did see it, it was strikingly beautiful. -----Original Message----- From: utah-astronomy-bounces@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:utah-astronomy-bounces@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Chuck Hards Sent: Monday, August 24, 2009 1:41 PM To: Utah Astronomy Subject: [Utah-astronomy] Sunday night moonset Did anyone else happen to see last night's moonset? I was struck at how close to vertical the lunar crescent was oriented. Also the "large moon" illusion was very apparent, something I notice more often with a rising or setting moon closer to full phase. Beautiful sight. _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Visit the Photo Gallery: http://www.slas.us/gallery2/main.php Visit the Wiki: http://www.utahastronomy.com
