Super moon tonight
NPR writes:
Get outside if you can Saturday evening and look up. Something that only happens a couple times in most people’s lives should be putting on a pretty good show (and we can all use a break from the news of late).
As NASA’s Science News explains, a “super moon” will be dominating the sky.
USNO offers access to precise data.

Certainly beautiful here. Hope all y’all see it. Does put things in perspective. NancyO
slight haze here, but it’s shining through. have had better telescope nights.
I live in Seattle. In March. Are you just going out of your way to be cruel?
I guess there are always jpegs. Sigh.
Hey, Bruce. I lived for 32 years in CA mainly on the coast where the weather report is always the same. “Night and early low morning fog with clouds until early PM. Possible clearing in the Valley in the early afternoon. Don’t like it? Too damn bad. California is California, take it or leave it.”
Left it. Look at your email, please. Sent you a thought. NancyO
Glad you can see it. But, yeah, maybe not a good scope night. But, we’re seeing it, friend. NancyO
Oh, yeah. I did forget the special message for me there every day. “Hey, Nancy. Freeze your butt, one more day.” Different here. Well, get to freeze my butt, but not every day. NancyO
Cloudy here, but I got some good photos of it last night
Super clear and crisp! Big shadows thrown over the ground.
Cold, clear and bright. wow.
I took a look, but it wasn’t until near midnight. I’m in NYC, boro of Queens. I was expecting more as I had confused the phenomenon with the “moon illusion” which gives the moon a really huge look. Maybe I missed some maxi point, but the difference seemed along the lines of a dime vs a penny. It was a nice clear sky and a bright full moon.
Hi neighbor, I moved to B’ham 10 Jan 2011.
