"Super Moon" tomorrow

Tomorrow an extremely rare even occurs that is called a "Super Moon". This happens when the full moon coincides perigee. Perigee is the point at which an orbiting body (the Moon) is at its closest to the object it orbits (Earth). Normally the effect is unnoticeable; however, the event happening at the same time as the full moon makes the effect very noticeable. Especially when the moon is close to the horizon. I will, if weather permits, have photos of it, lots of photos of it.


Quite a difference!
