Tonight sees a Supermoon, the best you'll see for 28 years. A supermoon is a full-moon when the moon is nearest to the Earth.

Damn - it's pouring with rain in Sydney.

Clear skies and cold weather in Norway. Beautiful moon. Just explained to my children why the moon is so big.

Likewise, except for the Norway and the children bits.

The moon appears to be very bright and also very white here.

Having posted this I nearly forgot to go and have a look It doesn't look obviously closer than normal, but it certainly is very bright.

misted slightly when i went to kip but i woke up about midnight and she was shining bright and clear. lovely, but i have to say i've seen far bigger moons, caused by atmospherics of course. would love to some one like today's APOD tho!

The Moon didn't look any bigger to me either.
I think I read somewhere that the Moon's apparent size would increase by 14%.
If my calculations are correct, the apparent diameter would then only increase by 6%, hence it wouldn't appear obviously bigger.
Then again, my calculations could be wrong

The moon looked bigger to me, but then again I've just moved into a third-floor flat, on top of a hill ...

We like the moon because it is close to us.

(probably shouldn't open this link up at work) Not because it's filthy but it's an immediate flash load and the volume is set to 11.
