Look out for the Perigee Moon

Tonight's moon will be the largest it's been for 20 years - about 14% larger than usual. It's a super 'perigee moon'. Find out why the moon looks larger than usual at http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2011/16mar_supermoon/.


This is how the perigee moon looked over Aylesbury, UK earlier this evening. Keep your eyes peeled, Gabriola!
