For all the astronomy nuts out there.........
"The biggest full Moon of the year is coming this weekend. It's a "perigee Moon" as much as 14% wider and 30% brighter than lesser Moons we'll see later in 2009." For the whole story on the perigee moon and on the approaching comet Lulin which was discovered in 2007 and may be it's first trip through our inner solar system........what suprises might be in store for viewing? Check the SpaceWeather website.

Yep Russ it sure is bright this weekend, hope ya' get the chance for a good view.
The comet Lulin will become brighter as we go into February too, keep your eyes open as this comes through everyone, might be worth watching.
