BIGGEST Full Moon of the Year Tonight!!!
Tonight, look over to the eastern horizon around sunset to find the moon. The moon will be the biggest it is going to be all year! This is because the moon's orbit around the earth is not simply circular, it is elliptical. The point where the moon comes closest to the Earth which occurs tonight is called perigee. And... Next to the moon... The bright orange star is Mars! It will travel across the sky side by side with the moon tonight. So get your telescope, your binoculars, or just your eyes to witness this spectacular and stunning event!
