GUYS - today the moon will appear larger than any other night in 2012!

According to shortformblog…

• Classic Moon: When the moon is visible low against the Earth’s horizon at night, it creates a mysterious optical illusion that makes it seem larger than usual. Rest assured, however impressive it looks, it’s no closer than when it hangs high in the sky.
• Super Moon: Tonight, lunar enthusiasts will have a unique annual opportunity – that’s right, the supermoon is upon us. The night of its closest approach to earth, the moon should appear nearly 14% bigger and 30% than it would at its farthest distance. source

And here’s a little bit of info I found on my own about the super moon when it appeared last year on March 19th and gave hope to the Japanese after the tsunami. It also inspired a Japanese design and innovation firm called to make a topographically-accurate LED light called “The Moon,” shown above.

Pretty cool huh?
