Supermoon, March 19
Today and tonight the Earth’s moon is closest to the earth than it has been in 18 years – 221,565 miles away, the closest to Earth since March 1993. Scientists estimated that the “supermoon” would appear 14% bigger and 30% brighter at its peak, which was earlier today.
I went outside to take a short video clip of it with My Flip camera. It is pretty tonight. My husband Ray and our daughter Leah saw it, too. Leah didn’t think it looked much different from other nights, but she said maybe it looks different in other places. There have been some great shots captured of it already in other states like the one in this post by the Lincoln Memorial in Washington.
Here is the video clip of the moon tonight in Missouri.
