This Friday the moon will be not only full, but the closest it's been to earth in 15 years! As a lover of the moon, my little crabby ass will be out tonight gazing at the huge moon and hopefully getting some pictures.
"It will be a little over 350,000km away as it passes over the northern hemisphere, which is about 30,000km closer than usual.
If the sky is clear it will appear brighter and larger than usual, say astronomers.
Closest path
Friday's full moon could appear up to 14% bigger and 30% brighter than other full moons this year, Nasa said.
The Moon's orbit is elliptical, meaning it does not follow a circular but rather an oval path."
