Perigee Moon Tonight

Tonight, the moon will be at it's perigee - the low point in its elliptic orbit, and the opposite of apogee. The moon will be the closest it will be for about 20 years. Until then, it will never appear to be bigger or brighter than tonight. Try to catch it as close to moon-rise as possible, when it will appear largest thanks to an odd psychological effect.
Cool science stuff, yah?

We had one during Halloween one year but I bet the effect in Iraq was disturbing.

I thought it was a little brighter out Sat nite.
We had a "harvest" moon in the PacNW last month where it was really low on the horizon and burnt Orange. Kinda odd for late winter/early spring
