There's a Super Moon Coming on May 5

On May 5th the moon will pass through perigee (the closest point in its orbit to earth) within one minute of when it is a full moon. The moon can be more than 10% larger in the sky when at perigee so look for this "super moon" event to give a spectacular moon rise at dinner time.

    Is the prediction that the moon will be at perigee on May 5 a religious belief?

      Oh, c'mon... I'm happy to see these posts. For once, Cornelius shows pure and simple awe before nature. Good for him. I'm still mourning Moebius.
