Thin-sliced moon rises
Moving slenderly upward
Higher and higher
Dark sky alight with
Golden waning gibbous moon
Now rising higher
Waxing and gibbous
Bright white moon plays in night sky
Flickering through leaves
Amber crescent moonYes, I am moonstruck.
Hangs in west-southwestern sky
Pure delight for me
Seldom-seen sighting
Daylight and moon together
Viewers delighting
Great ball shining bright
Rolling on dark night's ceiling
Sun's light brings to earth
Tonight's bright half moonSeeing the night sky is one of the pleasures of my walk with Diana. Though few stars are visible because of light pollution, I love the sight of them, along with the view of Sister Moon, when she's around.

The words themselves a poem
Turning full moon soon
A red sky tonight
Without moon or stars in sight
Making my walk bright

Waxing crescent moon
With Sister Venus shines in
Midnight blue splendor

Bright hornéd crescentSATURDAY UPDATE: Tonight at twilight, the sky was a beautiful, clear midnight blue, with the very bright crescent somewhat larger than last night, again poised between the shining planets, Venus and Jupiter, with Orion overhead, slightly to the east. Lovely.

Thanks to a fluke of orbital mechanics that brings the moon closer to Earth than that it has been in more than 18 years, the biggest full moon of 2011 will occur on Saturday, leading some observers to dub it a "supermoon."
On Saturday afternoon at 3 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time, the moon will arrive at its closest point to the Earth in 2011: a distance of 221,565 miles (356,575 kilometers) away. And only 50 minutes earlier, the moon will officially be full.
At its peak, the supermoon of March may appear 14 percent larger and 30 percent brighter than lesser full moons (when the moon is at its farthest from Earth), weather permitting. Yet to the casual observer, it may be hard to tell the difference.Great moon ball shines bright
