Don't forget about the Moon!

This morning I posted a little article about tonight's full moon.  Tonight's moon is 31,000 miles closer to the earth than it has been in quite a long time and about 30% brighter - now that's a big bright moon.  Due to the moons orbit not being in an exact circle as it orbits the earth....makes tonight's moon look hugh (14% larger).  It's not only full, it's bright, it's beautiful and it's hugh.  Go look, go look, go look -- and tell your grand children all about the crazy lady who liked to watch the big full moon.   You'll like it.

Raining here and it's supposed to all night. :( I love Full Moons.
I wanted to go out and take a pic, but hubby said there's so much cloud (we have rain moving in) that you can't see anything...........bummer.

Wonderful, isn't it. And to think that it would just be a light in the sky if we didn't know so much about it. It would be beautiful but it would not be such a wonder to me if I didn't know how it came to be there and what its surface is like and so on. It generates such inspiring thoughts in my mind when I see it.
jadan x. Jan 10, 2009, 8:04pm UTC
It's very cloudy here so may not be able to see it.
Kim B. Jan 10, 2009, 8:08pm UTC

Oh, I thought it looked bigger when I was out bike riding this morning. I would have taken a photo, but I didn't have my good camera with me.
Carol V. Jan 10, 2009, 9:37pm UTC

HH!!

The heavens become larger than an IMAX screen with even greater majesty than 20,000 watts of Dolby digital stereo. And you can watch for hours for free.
Mary Ann Slavcheff Jan 13, 2009, 2:33pm UTC
Don't you just love the moon.
michelle K. Jan 13, 2009, 9:49pm UTC
