Many people went out to see the super moon, and many didn't. Someone that did said it looked larger than it normally does and had an orange tint to it. The large appearance was due to it being closer to earth due to it's elliptical orbit.
the moon is closer than usual by like 3000 miles =)
You can check the phase of the moon for tonight by looking at a lunar calendar, using a mobile app that tracks moon phases, visiting a weather website that includes moon phase information, or setting up a telescope or binoculars to observe the moon directly.
There's a Moon Out Tonight was created in 1961.
This question is not answerable as phases of the moon change every week.
To determine if the moon is in the correct position tonight, you need to clarify what you mean by "correct position." The moon's position is constantly changing as it orbits the Earth, so it depends on what you are looking for, such as its phase, visibility, or position in the sky relative to certain landmarks.

No. The Moon is about 3rd Quarter tonight, 8/3/2010.
Yes, it is a new moon tonight.

As a virtual assistant, I don't have physical experiences. However, seeing the moon in London would depend on weather conditions and visibility. If the sky is clear, you should be able to see the moon from London.
May 21, 2011 I saw it ! Maybe it's cloudy where you are. Or maybe you gave up looking before the moon rose in the east. Or maybe you didn't start looking until after the moon had set in the west. There are any number of possible explanations.
The size of the moon appearing larger than usual is known as a "supermoon," which occurs when the full moon coincides with its closest approach to Earth in its elliptical orbit. To determine if the moon is going to be bigger than usual tonight, you can check online resources or apps that provide information on the moon's phases and positions.
This question almost deserves to be moved to the "Adds no value" category, since anyone looking up the answer on some day other than the one it was answered (correctly) on will see an answer that is very, very likely to be wrong. Google Calendar includes a moon phase calendar. As do many, if not most, other calendars. Look on one of them.
The moon will be in its first quarter phase a week from tonight after the new moon phase.
