If you watch out for the Moon tonight, you will see the largest FULL MOON for 15 years.
The Moon has a slightly oval orbit . Tonight the Moon will be at the closest point to the Earth at the same time as it reaches the FULL MOON phase in its 28 day lunar cycle. This means that , clouds permitting, it should be the brightest and the largest it has been for 15 years. There should also be some meteorites passing through.
I hope that you get a chance to witness this awe inspiring natural event! If it is cloudy, CLICK HERE to see how it should look!
