What a beautiful sight! The "super perigee" moon tonight is the largest in 20 years. It is 15 to 30% larger than normal. It's known as the "moon illusion". It appears so large because it's at the "perigee" point in it's orbit around the earth, the closest point in the orbits ellipses. It will be a long time before it happens again. I tried in vein to get some good photos but no luck. Will post what I got anyway. Moon photos are HARD!
As they use to say on Laugh In "Veerry Interesting".
