HEAVENLY SHOW

Tomorrow night we will have a very rare heavenly show.  Our Moon is at its apogee right now.  That means that it is the closest to the Earth that is ever gets in its orbit - 30,000 miles closer than at the furthest point (the apogee).  This is called the "Super Moon".

The Super Moon will appear 14% larger and 30% brighter than at its apogee.  To top this off, those of us in the eastern US will be thrilled to know the Earth will come in a direct line between the Sun and our Moon.  That is an eclipse.  The Sun's rays will only bend around the Earth to reflect off the Moon.  It will be quite a show just after sundown.  Hope we have a clear night.  Don't miss it.
