If its not cloudy tonight we should all go out and look at the biggest and brightest moon of this year.
"Earth, the moon and the sun are all bound together by gravity, which keeps us going around the sun and keeps the moon going around us as it goes through its phases. The moon makes a trip around Earth every 29.5 days."
Tonight is the night that the moon will be at its closest point to us in its orbit, and it will look 14% bigger in our sky. Because of this event there are also going to be higher ocean tides. Earths oceans are pulled by the moons gravity, and since it is closer than usual the tides will be higher than usual.
I'm definitely going to check it out.
