Dec. 12, might be a good time to take in a little astronomy. According to NASA, the moon will be at perigee (it's closest point to the earth) at the same time that it is full, promising a spectacular view (provided there are few or no clouds) of the largest full moon of the year! It will appear 14% larger and 30% brighter than other "normal" full moons. Info from this blog. Mike heard the above info on the local weather, so we went outside to take a look at the "Full Cold Moon". It looked really neat because there was a jet stream right through it that was long and bright too.
