"Moon Over Monte Carlo"
Skywatcher Tim McCord of Entiat, Wash., caught this amazing view of the March 19, 2011 full moon - called a supermoon because the moon was at perigee, the closest point to Earth in its orbit - using a camera-equipped telescope.

Skywatchers take note: The biggest full moon of the year is due to arrive this weekend.
The moon will officially become full Saturday at 11:35 p.m. EDT. And because this month's full moon coincides with the moon's perigee — its closest approach to Earth — it will also be the year's biggest.
The moon will swing in 221,802 miles (356,955 kilometers) from our planet, offering skywatchers a spectacular view of an extra-big, extra-bright moon, nicknamed a supermoon.
And not only does the moon's perigee coincide with the full moon this month, but this perigee will be the nearest to Earth of any this year, as the distance of the moon's close approach varies by about 3 percent, according to meteorologist Joe Rao, Space.com's skywatching columnist. This happens because the moon's orbit is not perfectly circular.

^^^^Above is a great vid 2 view `if you want 2 see & learn more ^^
(***May 5th, 2012 is the date the Moon is the largest***)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
This month's full moon is due to be about 16 percent brighter than average. In contrast, later this year on Nov. 28, the full moon will coincide with apogee, the moon's farthest approach, offering a particularly small and dim full moon.
Though the unusual appearance of this month's full moon may be surprising to some, there's no reason for alarm, scientists warn. The slight distance difference isn't enough to cause any earthquakes or extreme tidal effects, experts say.
However, the normal tides around the world will be particularly high and low. At perigee, the moon will exert about 42 percent more tidal force than it will during its next apogee two weeks later, Rao said.
Perigee will be the nearest to Earth of any this year, so it will be living large

Hi EveryBody,
I'm just trying to fill in some empty spaces on the MCF to create some activity...
Did anyone see the Moon last eve ? Did anyone take any pictures ? The guy below did
Ancient myths and stories regarding the moon!
A Sudanese tradition, from the Silouk tribe, states that in the ancient times people use to visit the moon by a certain steep road; however they later got tired and stopped climbing it.
Certain Indian manuscripts state that the Greek gods fought against the inhabitants of the moon and its allies. Greek philosophers knew a great deal about the moon. Socrates described it as being a great hollow sphere, where in its core seas, land and people inhabited it, just like on planet earth.
Plutarch and Diogenes Laertius explain what God Orpheus, the son of Apollo, believed about the moon; "the moon has mountains, towns and homes, the surface is similar to that of the earth's and is inhabited by godly beings". Orpheus was aware of the lunar calendar of 12 months and the lunar phases. He talked about the rotation of earth around the sun, the different zones of our planet, the moon eclipses, the solstices, equinoxes, the movements of the planets. He believed that the moon inhabitants moved from one planet to the next.
According to some myths numerous figures from ancient Greece visited or travelled around the moon, including God Dionysus, Hercules and many more. Apollo's sister, Artemis (Diana) was once Queen of the moon. Pythagoras, according to one story, believed that the moon was inhabited by Godly beings, similar to the humans. He even claimed that the day is 15 hours longer on the moon. The godly beings on the moon are taller than the humans, blonde and very beautiful. All of Pythagoras' knowledge derives from these beings, with whom he came into constant contact.
In 1950 in a Mayan temple in Mexico researchers found a map of the Far Side of the Moon, which proved quite accurate, compared with the first official mappings brought by the space program (7.10.1959).
