The moon's orbit around the earth is not a perfect circle. At it's farthest point from earth, it's called at apogee, and it's at perigee at the closest point. Tonight's full moon is closest to perigee, and appears 14% larger and 30% brighter than full moons at apogee. Grab a jacket and go check it out. It's most dramatic when it's closer to the horizon. Have a great weekend!
