This past Saturday night (OK, just after midnight Sunday), I was driving home from Atlanta, and as I left the exurban fringe and entered the rural darkness, I noticed a big orange moon staring at me as I drove the rest of the way down the highway. Ever since I was a child, I've hated seeing an orange or red moon on the horizon, because it makes me think about the end of the world or bad omens. It's worse if it's full, near-full, or partially covered by clouds, and even worse if I'm in a rural area, or moving from an urban area to a rural area like I was that night. For some odd reason, seeing it then makes me feel vulnerable.
Does anybody else get as creeped out by a red or orange moon as I do?
I love them and my feelings upon seeing it coudn't be further from yours. I get a warm, almost euphoric feeling seeing a huge orange moon on the horizon. Just think of Neil Armstrong landing up on there and you'll feel better.
I'm not bothered by it. If anything I like creepy-looking moons.
