[moon] Perfectly clear view at the moment at nearly overhead


The moon last night was as far north (almost) as it can ever get, some
5 degrees above the ecliptic. This is due to the inclination of its
orbit, but it will be many years before the full moon is that high
again.

Incidentally, although thre is no midnight sun in the Shetlands, in the
far north of the islands, the moon last night (or last day) never set .

I wondered about that. I noticed how small it looked (as an antidote
to all those observations last year (was it?) when the full moon, low
in the sky, looked so big.

Fascinating.

This feature is related to the 18.6 year lunar noday cycle (in which we are
currently at an extreme) and there is a useful summary here.

Nah, you're confusing it with the Deja Vu thread. I have told you before.
