Hi girls, I'm being a bit of a geek I know, but I've just put the bin out and noticed there's a full moon out and i started to wonder... If there's a full moon here, is it full all over the world or just here? Please would you mind having a look for me?

hi hun, im in western australia and we had a full moon last night too

That is so weird, I was only thinking the same thing last night So we must all see the full moon at the same time

LOL. Well the moon is a planet and if it is shone on fully by the sun (from earth perspective)then it will be full wherever you are on earth.
btw the moon looks upside down too in the southern hemisphere.

what did you expect the moon to be otherwise ?

 

[Sarah lo]

Cool, thanks everyone! I didn't realise the moon looked upside down in the southern hemisphere, you learn something new every day don't you!
