Big moon, tonight.
Map of the sky as seen from where I live. As I write this, the moon is just now coming up, but I can't see it because of clouds. It'll be the biggest in 15 years.

I noticed it. It looks like sunrise here, at 9 p.m., I barely needed my headlights to see.

I remember seeing a spectacular moon a few years ago. I think sometimes the atmosphere is such that it enhances the view of the moon. I remember getting online and telling everybody to go out and look at the moon -- they did, and they seemed to be as impressed as I was.
