Tonight, the moon is going to orbit the closest it's been to the earth since 1993, and is expected to appear 14% larger and much brighter and fuller than usual. There are those ("lunatics," I believe they're called) who believe that the moon causes all kinds of weird earthly activity, especially these "supermoons," so be prepared for some sort of drama tonight! Scientists at NASA say that the moon will appear the largest when it's closest to the horizon, so that will depend on where you are on this planet. This won't be happening again until 2029, so make plans to take a peek this evening....should be sort of fabulous.
