Full moon when not supposed to be ?
Kios:
A very short post for a little question that I hope won't turn embarrassing :
On my calendars we are suppose to get a full moon tomorrow night the 2th August 2012.
Well, we went out last evening, so the 31th of July and when we went out the place we were, we got all very surprised to see that the moon was already 'full' and even quite close enough to be able to see its designs. It was a nice distraction on the moment but now, I just wonder how that did happen or if I am missing something ?
How could the moon be in "advance" ?

I dont know the answer to your question, but i have seen some strange moon sightings myself this last year.
Im sure an expert in astronomy could put me straight, but the ecipses have been tilted. Earlier this year in March in Enlgand i noticed it.
Its something ive never seen before and im always looking up into the night sky.

Fwiw, either side of the full moon phase + 1 or 2 days, the view is 97% - 93% full respectively. If i'm not looking at a calendar, sometimes mistakenly think it is full when it is not.

That could be the answer as a matter of fact :)
