Promising you the Super Moon
Bobby Williams took these photos (of the moon) around 2:35 a.m. ... almost time for the Super Moon tomorrow morning! The biggest and brightest full moon of the year!
Let's just lazily cut-n-paste this from The Washington Post:
The upcoming perigee occurs within minutes of the official full moon (but after the moon will have set for the day and not visible in that particular time window). Make some toast and pour your coffee, since on Sunday, June 23 perigee is at 7:11 a.m. eastern, when the Earth and moon will be about 356,991 kilometers, or 221,894 miles apart, according to the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada. A mere 22 minutes later – at 7:33 a.m. – the moon becomes full, according to the U.S. Naval Observatory.
The moon will appear 14 percent larger than normal, or more depending on how much you drink.
Meanwhile, we'll need to check in with Felton Davis.

And if you look closely, you can see an outline of a penis... Oh, wait — that was Mars! Never mind!

Sunday's sorta supermoon
On Saturday, the moon came as close to Earth as it will all year. Allegedly. I cut-n-paste this from somewhere: the supermoon was 14 percent closer to Earth and 30 percent brighter than when at its farthest point.
But Saturday evening's overcast skies didn't make for very good viewing.
Still, last night's moon wasn't any slouch.

Shooting the moon
Bobby Williams took these last night...
If you look closely enough at the detail of this last photo, you can see the moon's new 7-Eleven...
And tonight – SUPERMOON!

Warming up for the Supermoon
Last night...
And tonight!
Tonight's full moon will be the largest and brightest seen for 19 years, appearing 14 percent bigger and shining 30 percent more brightly than usual. (So that's 44 percent?) Here's more on Gothamist.
