The Moon's elliptical orbit means its distance from the Earth is not constant.

It will be a little over 350,000km away as it passes over the northern hemisphere, which is about 30,000km closer than usual.

If the sky is clear it will appear brighter and lighter than usual, say astronomers.

Friday's full moon could appear up to 14% bigger and 30% brighter than other full moons this year, Nasa said.

Someone must have decided to bring down the moon to make his gal happy.

The irony of guns, is that they can save lives.

Same here.

Same all over the UK.

Bloody weather.

Won't see the meteor shower either.

But, I did get an early preview of both last night.

I won't be able to see it. We are supposed to get 20cm of snow (a little more than half a foot) and wind chills of -30 or -40 Celsius.
And I get to work through it tonight and tomorrow >
