Great SuperMoon shot, Gil.

In fact, this month's perigee is the closest of any perigee in 2012 (they vary by about 3 percent, because the moon's orbit is not perfectly circular). The result will be a 16 percent brighter-than-average full moon accompanied by unusually high and low tides this weekend and into the new week.

Ethereal; an absolute 10 and saved to Favorites! Once upon a time, in September 1986, I took a grey (think white) Arabian gelding to Monument Valley, Utah, on a 5-day trail ride (my mother went along for the trip, though she didn't ride, but enjoyed camp). There was a full moon like no other I've ever seen, before or since, and it was HUGE ... and so bright you could read by its light. I will never forget it. Thank you so much for taking this wondrous photo (and series), and for sharing!

Thank you very much Katy, Hanna, Mindi, Gale, and wiggles, for your great comments.

wigglesMom Thank you much for sharing your wonderful story. Glad this brought back some great memories to you. Don't forget tonight's Super Moon! I'm leaving soon to a place where I can see it rising before dark. Can't happen from my house. I'm too close to a big mountain to the East.

I guess this would be a VIP if the moon was really coming over the mountain! LOL

Amazing VIP, AP, and series, Gil! I'm so happy someone got some great shots of this phenomenon! Unfortunately, our rainy weather obliterated the moon rise; however, I did glimpse it a short time ago straining through the heavy cloud cover. Again, congratulations!

Gil--Absolutely amazing! Great "super moon" shots! Hope you get some great ones tonight too--I think did on the beach, but your hillside shots make the moon seem even bigger!

P.S. Congratulations on the VIP for this one and the AC on the other moon shot in this series! Both a 10-FAVE from me. The moon is supposed to be even fuller and bigger tonight--good luck!

Gorgeous. However I don't understand how big it appears. I went to the beach to see it last night in FL and it looked normal. Did you zoom and does it look bigger when you zoom? or does it look bigger in certain parts of the country. Just wondering. Again awesome shot.

Thank you very much Islander, Wanda, Carol, & Captive, for your great comments. Much appreciated.
Here's a link I sent to Floridacaptive for her inquiry. I don't understand half of what I know, so maybe this may clarify. Or you can google for Moon Orbit.
