There was a full moon out June ll.. what you saw was a reflection (either in water, or a mirror image) of the full moon. Are you into astrology? The war in the sky sounds like a zodiac of sorts. What was involved in the war? (What is going on around you? any turbulence? it's merely a reflection of this..) the reflection thing.. get it? mirror/water.. lol. it's easy! lol

It's an optical illusion which is commonly referred to as the "Moon Illusion", meaning it's true for the moon also...\n\nThe most common misconception is that it is because you are unconsciously comparing the Sun to foreground objects like trees and houses, or even the horizon itself, and that makes the Sun look bigger than when it is all alone in the sky. This turns out to be false. As it happens, there are already excellent descriptions of this effect on the web. Probably the best is by Donald Simanek, Professor of Physics at Lock Haven University of Pennsylvania, and another very good one is by Carl Wenning, from the Illinois State University.\n\nI've also see some nonsense about it being because it's seen through a "thicker slice of atmosphere", which if it were true it would make the Sun look smaller!\n\nIn addition, you have probably seen that the rising or setting Moon looks very red. This is the same reason the sky is blue...

When 2 full moons occur in any calendar month which happens on average once every 2.5 years. See:\n\nhttp://scienceworld.wolfram.com/astronomy/BlueMoon.html

Right now, the moon is not visible from Ireland. It set in the West shortly after sunset. It would be a thin crescent if we were able to see it.\n\nIn addition it's pretty cloudy here in Ireland tonight, so it's a double strikeout I'm afraid!

no the sky is no actually blue, have you noticed that at night you can see space? well thats because during the day the sun ray that come through our hemisphere are hitting against the massive amount of Ocean on our Earth, they do not reflect, but instead refract off the water molecules and transmit into the air, shooting all the way back up to our hemisphere, this gives us the sight of a blue sky.

It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.  Arise fair sun and kill the envious moon which is already sick and pale with grief.\nI just like it, I wish guys today could be more romantic...not in old english, of course, but something nice and poetic, not crude or some sexual inuendo.  Oh well.

Obviously the moon has to be between the Sun and the\nEarth, so maybe they want you to say, "when the Moon is new".\nNote that this is the *opposite* of a full moon.

"Half Moon" simply refers to that moment in the lunar cycle haflway between the New Moon and the Full Moon.  It doens't necessarily refer to the way it looks like.

A full moon occurs when the sun and the moon are on opposite sides of the Earth, so a full moon WILL rise at ABOUT the same time the sun sets.

the actual meaning? Well, once in a blue moon means that it happends very very rarely. but a blue moon supposedly is the second Full Moon to occur in a single calendar month. :)have a good one!

The term Blue Moon has at least three different meanings. One is a common phrase for a rare event, that really has little to do with the moon itself. Another is a description of the apparent color of the moon, which is frequently yellowish and rarely bluish. Full moons are given names in folklore, and two definitions of blue moon are a name for a rare full moon that does not have a folk name. One modern blue moon definition is for a second, extra full moon that occurs in a calendar month. The older definition of blue moon is for an extra full moon that occurs in a quarter of the year, which would normally have three full moons, but sometimes has four. Oddly, it's the third full moon in a season that has four which is counted as the "extra" full moon and named blue moon.

It is a valid observation.  Ask anybody that works in a hospital or bar.  I used to work in a bar, so I know people are definitely different on a full moon.  The moon affects the water and tides.  Our bodies are made up of 2/3 water.  So we would be affected, too.

Something for robotdan and goring.  Black and white are the only colors that can be considered opposites because black is the absence of color and white is the fusion of all color.\n\nAnd yes, the opposite of opposite is "same". :)
