Check out the Super Moon tonight!


Yes, if in your country is still night, you will want to check out the moon! Indeed, today, after eighteen years, the moon's orbit will be even closer to the earth, making it look almost 20% bigger and brighter!
Here's what CFNews 13 says about this very rare event, that is really great to see, no matter where we are:

Clear and dry weather will make for good viewing of this weekend's Super Moon.
The "Super Moon" is part of the Perigee event, when the moon's orbit is closest to the planet. It's the closest the moon has been in 18 years, and provides a fantastic view, especially near sunrise and sunset. The moon rise time will be at 7:51 pm Saturday and set time at 7:45 am Sunday.

Here's a good picture that explains what is going on right now:

And, here you are some LIVE pictures of the moon, from Orlando, FL (we took them just outside the window)! Take a look at how many details you can see:




This is a very nice thing to see. We are only hoping that it will not cause extremely high tides near the sea.
Have you checked out the moon yet? If not, hurry! You may still have time!
