Pretty Sky!

[deird_lj]

It's so foggy outside that I can see the moon.
(Or I could, a few minutes ago.)

This might not make a lot of sense, on the face of it. And unfortunately, in the time it took me to run inside and get a camera, the moon disappeared again - so I have no proof.

But it sort of makes sense, in my head.
After all, the reason we normally can't see the moon, during the day (assuming it's on the appropriate side of the Earth), is because the sun is so bright it makes all moon-seeing impossible.

That is not currently the case. Because it's SO INSANELY FOGGY.

But, yeah - I saw the moon.
Right in the middle of a very white and foggy sky, there was this even whiter round thing, hanging there looking all moony.

And it wasn't the sun, because that was slightly further along in the sky, making the fog all shiny.

IT LOOKED SO COOL.

Fun!

Although, I've seen the moon in the middle of the day every now and then out here - and it's usually when it's blue-skies-not-a-cloud-in-sight. Weird.

You're sure it wasn't the Alien Mothership come to collect you?

That's no moon...

I am confused, because the moon is visible in the daytime quite clearly here.

I think she meant that the moon and sun were pretty close together and yet the moon was still visible.

I could be wrong.

Edit: Hmm, well, no, it's almost the first quarter, so a) the moon wouldn't be that close and b)the moon wouldn't appear to be round.

Yeah, I'm confused now, too.
