It's a marvellous night for a moondance....

If you look up to the skies tonight you may notice that the moon appears bigger than normal. The moon will be within 90 per cent of its closest possible distance to the earth, or 221,567 miles away. It's the closest the moon has been to Earth in 19 years!

I'm going to be looking skyward, but the clear skies of the day have now been replaced by a lot of thick cloud, so I probably won't see anything.

cool..i think they call it the supermoon when the earth is so close it looks like you could almost jump onto the moon.
we had a lunar eclips a month or few months ago.. i only got to see part of that because of the clouds..today is a clear day, hopefully in between work i will see the moon as close as it will be..
