Tonight will be by far one of the most beautiful sights this year, there will be a "Lunar Perigee" and it will be the biggest full moon in 19 years! The "Lunar Perigee" is the point in the lunar cycle when the moon is closest to the earth. The full moon could appear to be 14% bigger and 30% brighter in the sky, especially when it rises on the eastern horizon at sunset, but hopefully it will be at the right atmospheric conditions. I'm hoping that here in Vancouver we will be able to get a nice view of it, as it would be wonderful to take pictures of and even in the telescope it will be a wonderful sight! Get your camera's ready, and your eye on the sky. ;)
