"Super" Full Moon



Our Lunar Eclipse article is still one of the highest rated. So many of you may be excited about the "Super" full moon tonight. The moon will be visible as early as 3:00pm EST, and will appear 14% larger and 30% brighter in some places. The full moon will appear within 1 hour of perigee. The last time we saw a moon like this was in 2008 [above], though some sites claim 1993 since the moon appeared a full 4 hours away from perigee.

Tweet us your images from tonight @photogblogger and it could be the featured photo of this article! Also Teriq is accepting submissions over at SPACE.com. Email him at tmalik@space.com.
