[Updated] Moon shots

So last night's full moon was the largest and brightest seen in 19 years, appearing 14 percent bigger and shining 30 percent more brightly than usual, according to the article that I cut-n-paste that from.

How big was it? Here are a few photos ...

From EV Grieve reader Stephen Popkin ... taken on Third Avenue around 4 a.m...


From Bobby Williams...



From Shawn Chittle...

OK, so I didn't get any good shots. Anyway, Gothamist has some more photos. Also, check out the photos that Bob Arihood took right here.

    That top photo by Bobby Williams is fantastic! None of my shots turned out either, I think my camera is made of kryptonite.

    Hey, you know...

    If you get caught between the Moon and New York City, the best that you can do... The best that you can do is fall in love.

    My name is Stephen . I took the top shot. I used a nikon p100- a $300 non professional "super zoom" camera. I am glad that you like it. The moon was very bright .
