Super Moon

The once in every 32 month lunar event known as the Black Moon arrives on Friday here in the Western Hemisphere, and if you'd like to view this unusual celestial event, it may be just a bit tricky. The snarky answer is obviously "Go outside and look up...

It happened this weekend, the "super" full moon arrived and with it came all the "additional" gravitational pull on us earthlings. I looked at the moon this weekend and according to reports it would look 14% larger than other full moons.  I didn't quite see the difference.

This past weekend gave us the opportunity to view what they call the Super Moon. This full moon was called the Super Moon because the Moon was the closest it will be to Earth this year. The moon was 15,300 miles closer than usual and was only 221,802 miles from Earth last weekend.
