If you're out along the Boardwalk, or anywhere else along the coast, at 7:28 p.m. Saturday, the rising full moon may seem like it's been polished a little brighter and grown a bit.
That's because the moon will be closer to the Earth than it typically is during a full moon. It's an unusual lunar event in which the moon is full just as it comes closest to the Earth in its orbit. More

I was just out looking at it. My neighbors tree blocks it currently so I have to wait a while. Seems much colder out now.

Took a trip to the beach last evening to watch the moon rise. Pretty impressive with a nice red glow to it. Not sure it was worth the cold & 20mph wind though :rolleyes:

I was driving back from NYC on the Parkway last night and it looked really beautiful. Stopped at a diner to eat and the radio station was playing "moon songs". Got home around 11 PM and spent an hour wandering around the woods in the moonlight - spectacular! :)
