The Biggest Supermoon in Years is Coming Saturday Night
Quote: This Saturday evening, take a look at the night sky and you might see something special. The moon will make its largest, most stunning appearance of the year—an event known to scientists as “the perigee-syzygy of the Earth-Moon-Sun system” and to the popular skywatching public simply as the “supermoon.” As one of the most spectacular supermoons in years, the moon will appear 14 percent bigger and 30 percent brighter than when it is on the far side of its orbit.

W7x64 Pro, SuSe 12.1/** W7 x64 Pro, XP MCE Indian Territory |
Sort of reminds me of an old Outer Limits episode, in which a scientist determined that super nova or solar flare had struck the Earth on the far side, by looking at the moon's size and brightness (much larger and brighter than this), and spent the night preparing for the end of the Earth. He was wrong, because after an extreme storm, everything was flooded. http://www.hulu.com/watch/61856/oute...nconstant-moon | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number DIY
