The moon will appear 14% larger than a normal full moon, and will be about 30% brighter. We have a clear night and a ring side seat for the moonshine
on the snow covered volcano. Cheers!

Really? I`d like to know when the next full moon will be 14% smaller and 30% dimmer than the full moon tonight. Trust me, next month, you won`t see a
difference.

the news guy said it was 30% larger and 14% brighter, but who knows? it doesn't look any bigger thru the clouds. the harvest moons in the fall are
pretty large looking to the nekkid eye.

A LOT of media hype over not that unusual of an event!! The real event is next months transit of Venus across the face of the sun!
