If skies are clear Saturday, go out at sunset and look for the giant moon rising in the east. It will be the biggest and brightest one of 2009, sure to wow even seasoned observers.
It will appear about 14 percent bigger in our sky and 30 percent brighter than some other full moons during 2009, according to NASA. (A similar setup occurred in December, making that month's full moon the largest of 2008.)

THAT IS THE TRUTH!
I used to think everyone was fooling when they said that about the full moon, but they really and truly was not...people are CRAZY on the full moon, especially the elderly!
Seth better watch out, then!
It's supposed to rain here. :smirk2:
I think it's supposed to rain here, too.
Yup...rain here 2
And here.
I'll probably remember after dark. I'm going to try. Don't know what the weather is going to be, though.

I seen it! It was extremely bright. Didn't think of taking a picture.
This year is full of stuff. The Jews believe this year is extremely significant, maybe even the year of the messiah. April 9th, I believe is when there will be a total solar eclipse, and they believe that all the sky will be in the exact position it was at creation. Plus, every 28 years they make some special blessing and it lands on this year. The year after the sabbatical year. I heard someone say it lands on a Wednesday, for their Pesach.
Anyway, could be goofiness, but could be cool too!
