I've seen it tonnes of times throughout my life.

As for the moon moving a lot over a couple of days, I have to say last week it was very light at about 11pm, so I looked out of the door for the moon and it wasn't anywhere in sight. Anyhow I walked into the garden and it was directly above the house, can't say I've ever seen it there before, or seen it anywhere near as bright? I'm not an astronomer so I don't actually know where the moon should be each night, so I didn't think too much of it.

Surely though, astronomers would have noticed if the moon was somewhere where it was not supposed to be?
Dont know about astronomers, but, I have seen changes from day to day but not on such a great change as last week. If others are seeing it too then great, im not mad.
