Last night, at its highest point, it did look too low! Quite neat to spot actually!

That's a really nice article Deirdre, the diagrams explaing the illusions were very good.

Now just to keep an eye out for the moon between the clouds!

I was looking at the sky last night and the almost full moon was looking very low, hopefully the weather will improve over the next few days.
