Wow!

Tonight's full moon was the biggest and brightest of the year because the moon is currently at perigee, the closest it gets to the Earth. The difference between the moon at perigee and apogee, when it is the fartherest from the Earth, can be seen in the photo below from National Geographic...

Wasn't the moon amazing last night? I did a couple photos. Maybe I will post them. It's good to have you back!

Completely off topic... Can Obama be our president now? ;)
