Big Moon

[Flying Turtle]

Don't forget to get outside tonight and look at the moon, my favorite non-incandescent light. It's going to be about as close as it gets. To quote the Timesonline site.

"The unusual feature of tonight is that the perigee also coincides with a full moon, which will make it appear 14 per cent bigger and some 30 per cent brighter than most full moons this year – so long as the clouds hold off from blocking the view".

There may be some meteors (Geminids) visible, too.

Thanks! :thumbsup:

Now lets just hope that there isn't a 14 percent increase in loonies running around acting 30 percent crazier!
