SuperMoon Alert!You just might want to set your alarm or stay up for this one. The moon will be 14% bigger and 30% brighter than any other full moon in 2012. The scientific term for it is 'Perigee Moon', which is explained in this video, along with other interesting facts about it. The big 2012 SuperMoon will be at its grandest at 11:34 PM (EDT) on Saturday night, May 5. (3:27)
From Wikipedia: A "supermoon" is the coincidence of a full moon (or a new moon) with the closest approach the Moon makes to the Earth on its elliptical orbit, or perigee, leading to the technical name for a supermoon of the perigee-syzygy of the Earth-Moon-Sun system. The association of the Moon with both oceanic and crustal tides has led to claims that the supermoon phenomenon may be associated with increased risk of events such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. However, the evidence of such a link is widely held to be unconvincing. The term supermoon is not widely accepted or used within the astronomy or scientific community, who prefer the term perigee-syzygy. Perigee is the point at which the Moon is closest in its orbit to the Earth, and syzygy is a full or new moon, when the Earth, the Moon and the Sun are aligned. Hence, a supermoon can be regarded as a combination of the two, although they do not perfectly coincide each time. Syzygy may occur within a maximum of 12 hours from perigee during a supermoon, and 1 hour from perigee during an extreme supermoon. Effect on tides |

I dozed off for an hour or so and got up.
It's 11:45 PM, No Super Moon, but foggy
outside.
Only light I see is from the windows of my
neighbors.
Keewoo-nim, while you're taking photos of
shorebirds, I'll be digging the earth at a golf
course for the food on my dinner table.
