Calling All Sky Gazers!

[realfake]

Has anybody noticed a visible increase in the intensity of Moonlight recently?

Scientific publications state two things; The light intensity of the full Moon is equal to 0.01 foot-candles, and that this is not bright enough to see colours (Scotopic vision)

Scotopic vision is produced exclusively through the rod cells in the retina of your eyes. Rod cells work great in low light conditions, but they're unable to detect colours (Rods sense light intensity only) The cone cells in your retinas (which are responsible for colour perception) are far less sensitive to light than the rod cells and require a high intensity of illumination to detect anything. They're essentially nonfunctional when light intensity falls beneath a certain threshold.

In other words, the eyes high resolution colour vision system evolved for daylight, and ceases to work well at low illumination levels. The Moonlight of days gone was too weak for our eyes to detect colour, but not any longer!

The image above (credit: Pete Strasser) was taken under the light of the first full Moon of December 2009. The measurement tool is a Minolta T-10 Illuminance Meter, which give very accurate results. The reading of 0.032 fcd (foot-candle abbreviated) indicates an illuminance level 3 times greater than the 0.01 foot-candles literature states Moonlight is equal to!

More profound than the actual measurement is the visiblity of colour. Yes, that image is a 5 second exposure; but it gives a very accurate representation of what can be seen with your own eyes. I recently went outdoors, colour wheel in hand and placed it under the light of a near full Moon. The primary colours were easily distinguishable from one another, the yellows and oranges in particular literally jumped off the paper!

There's nothing unique about the Moonlight in my part of the world, make a print of the colour wheels provided at the end of my post and see for yourself.

For me personally, this is solid evidence pointing towards an increase in the amount of electromagnetic energy bathing our planet.

And to think there was a time when I considered the increasing light/frequency/vibration stuff to be nothing more than fluffy, feel good nonsense. :)

Thanks for posting this info and yes I have been wondering exactly the same and ive had conversations with my girlfriend about this. I few months ago i googled this and found nothing so I put it down to my imagination.

[beldazar]

Lol, hey Realfake, I have just this minute come in from being outside. I noticed it seemed darker and then spotted the streetlight across from the house was broken hehe. I hope it stays that way! I took a look at the moon while I was there too!

Going back to your post. This must also be the reason that Venus has been mistaken for Nibiru for two years running as it has been so bright.
You took me back to my days at school in biology lessons. :)

increasing light/frequency/vibration stuff

I'm glad you added that bit as this is where I am lost! I read a bit of DI's book Robots Rebellion last night and he mentioned going through a photon belt he thinks is coming from Alcyone, the brightest star of the Plieades (sp)
Then there was a post about the solar system going through dust clouds although I don't think this is connected. And when I first got into this I heard from one site that photons (information) was coming through from the sun which was changing our DNA. Now I don't believe the sun is solid so could be coming through from somewhere else. And in another DI book he mentions that this is coming from the galactic centre (think this is the 'source' that is mentioned).

(All the above is just blurb but I'm just trying to get my head around it.)

For an alternative view, could this be linked to our senses tuning up? I say this because when I first looked into this stuff I said to a friend of mine that everything seems 'brighter, clearer, more defined' I don't notice this any more but if everything goes on in the confines of our heads then everything we see is coming from 'us'

I bought myself a brand new printer several weeks back and I still haven't got around to installing it but I will definitely have a look when it's set up.

I was talking of light pollution to a couple of people yesterday and how I can't seem to escape it where I am. I used to live just 4 and a half miles from where I am now in a valley and when I got to the top of a hill, an orange glow surrounded the town I live in. Unfortunately I haven't found a good camping spot back there as it's all farmers land. I don't fancy a herd of bullocks or worse, mad cows, trampling on the tent in the middle of the night. :D

Bugger this light pollution :(

Anyway, great post!
This bit is the best as I know you are a level-headed person, not one prone to 'flights of fancy' :)

This must also be the reason that Venus has been mistaken for Nibiru for two years running as it has been so bright.

To be honest, bel, I think that's just 'wishful thinking'...I've been a keen skywatcher and amateur astronomer since I was 11, which is almost 35 years of observing!! :eek: And Venus hasn't changed from its usual range of brightness in that time.

Maybe if people are used to seeing Venus in light-polluted skies and then they head into the country and see it 'as it should be seen', they might think: "Blimey, that's too bright to be Venus! Maybe it's Nibiru!" :D

But Venus only varies in brightness between approximately -3.5 at its faintest, to -4.4 ish at its brightest. :)

[beldazar]

Yes you could wel be right Magenta, more people are looking upwards too and probably just never noticed.


Realfake, I looked out of my window at 12.45 last night snd the moon was visible. I looked at the cars parked in the street and parked underneath the broken streetlight, I could distinctly see that the colour was blue.
Since a child I have noticed that it is very hard to see what colour vehicles are.
Although to be honest, I haven't really been paying much attention before this so I have nothing to compare it to.

[typenicknamehere]

huh, 2 nights ago I went to put my bins out around 11-12pm ,I came back inside and said to my miss's that it actually looked like it was five or six in the morning since it was so damn bright outside, we are both sky gazers

[beldazar]

I lay outside for half an hour at 1.45 when I got back in from seeing the new year in. I lay skywatching and moon-gazing. An orange orb had been flying around all night while we were in town. It was really bright, a friend of mine saw it but it upset her, I had to tell her it was nothing scary, just really interesting and could be secret government technology. When we got home my son got the camera but he couldn't see it through the camera and then it faded out and I didn't see it after that.

Instead I took a couple of pictures of the moon as it was so bright. It even hurt my eyes a little. I had the binoculars with me too.

Here is the best one, it's nothing special, just through a normal digital camera.
I just felt like posting it anyway, it is a blue moon!

Happy Blue Moon everyone! :D

I have always seen colour under moonlight! Though admittedly not as bright.

[rockinrobinsuk]

My wife gave me a telescope for xmas only about £70 worth but its a start.
Any good websites info advised etc please, thanks in advance.

[harris999]

Actualy yes i noticed something like this. Last night i even took a pic of the moon on my phone, just because it was so bright. Ive never seen it so.

It turns out the quality wasnt so good tho.

[moondancer]

:D moon chat.. lovely

yes, when its a clear night, it does look brighter.. but then, sometimes I think it looks bigger and lower down than it used to :confused:

Fab pic Bel :D new years eve, i was using my binoculars and thought i had knocked the setting thing as i could see 2 moons so was trying to readjust them.. this went on a while until i took them away from my eyes and realised i was leathered n seeing double :D

yey it is a start and you can see alot with just a small scope , check spaceweather.com loadsof links and info on there

[codie]

I used some astronomy binoculars to look at the blue moon new years eve and it was very beautiful. I did freak out when I thought I saw a ufo :eek: but on closer inspection it was just a Chinese lantern. There were lots of them all flowing in a straight line. :D

[steevo]

RealFake, I had noticed that it was becoming easier to differentiate colours at night time, but I put it down to the new white light from the street lamps :o

Where were you when you took your measurements ? Was there any light pollution ?

If your measurements are correct (and they could be), then maybe there is more light coming from the sun at the moment, and that would tally with the research that has been done that shows "climate change" (and "global warming") is NOT man made.

When you say "electromagnetic energy", do you mean that the sun is the source of this, or maybe those tetra masts ?

[starstuff]

The sun is supposedly burning brighter (can't look straight at the sun any more even though you could as a child, it's too bright) - heard this on Ivan Stein's Timeline to 2012 video tonight, no other souce but I've not looked for one. If it is then it would explain the moon being brighter, as moonlight is just reflected sunlight, no?

[steve1964]

Venus is supose to be 20% brighter too.

[thechosenone]

Where I live in Cornwall (near Truro) the past few weeks maybe month the moon is completely visible through thick clouds and produces a rainbow effect glow with red on the outer of the circle and blue around the moon I know that might be a comon oddity but its the same brightness when its clear, I find it a bit odd as well that it was a full moon for 4 straight days not that long ago??

The sun must be throwing megatons of energy violently

[sexi_co]

If your measurements are correct (and they could be), then maybe there is more light coming from the sun at the moment, and that would tally with the research that has been done that shows "climate change" (and "global warming") is NOT man made.

If you watch David Wilcocks talk at Awake and Aware in LA, he discusses this theory at length. He puts forward research that has been done by many different scientists over many years. The research shows not only how the sun is putting out more, but also how it has effected ALL of the other planets in our solar system and how it has effected them. It's well worth watching.
