steve_b_wales Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 According to what I've just read, at 00:30 on August 27th both of the above can been seen close together. The next time will be in 2287. Not sure if this is true or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bear-uk Posted August 26, 2018 Report Share Posted August 26, 2018 My mistake but something Red was at about the 4 o'clock position to the Moon on Thursday night. Perhaps it was Beetlejuice ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_R Posted August 26, 2018 Report Share Posted August 26, 2018 (edited) There's a long-running nonsense about how August 27 will see Mars almost at the same size as the Moon. I have seen that hoax more than a few times over the years. I suspect that's what the OP has seen. As for Moon in conjunction with other planets, it happens often enough and very predictably, and they are very short lived.

Mice! Posted August 28, 2018 Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 well i had a look last night, you have been able to see a planet all month near the moon, typically last night was cloudy, moon but nothing else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
