Moon-2009's brightest

The biggest and brightest moon of 2009 is tonight! 

Biggest moon of 2009
My photo, taken at about 6:00 p.m.
"The full moon will be 14 per cent bigger and 30 per cent brighter today."
"The moon will be brighest at 3.30 am on Sunday. This is because the Moon' orbit is an ellipse with one side 50,000 km closer to earth than the other side"

Yeah...I'm not willing to get up for that picture. :)

Yep, we had the joy of having this appear very huge here where we are living. It was amazing - I'm glad you got a pic of it. We were able to go walking in the "moonlight" without flashlights.
