Quote : | "And the 'Supermoon' - the nickname for a perigee full moon, closer to the Earth than usual - could cause tides to rise around the world as the moon's close 'fly past' exerts 42% more tidal force.
The moon will appear bigger and brighter - sky-watchers promise this 'supermoon' will be 16% brighter than most when it begins on Saturday at 3.35pm GMT, 11.35am EDT. " |

According to the article, a psuedo-supermoon occured in December 2008. The last real supermoon was in March 1983. 5/1/2012 12:38:48 PM |

Apparently there was one last year, because I said this^ to a coworker just now and he was all "Nah-uhhhh there was one in March 2011" and I was like "No there wasn't because thewolfweb said so" and then he said NASA said there was.... 5/3/2012 12:59:35 PM |

I'm in Texas. It's bright as fuck outside. The moon does look big, but I don't really have any way to discern how much bigger it is than other times I've seen it. I guess they were right in the article. 5/6/2012 12:18:51 AM |
