Super Moon Phenomenon was Spectacular! March 19th, 2011

Super Moon Phenomenon was Spectacular! March 19th, 2011. When the orbit of the moon is at perigee it is closet to the Earth, and when this cooincides with a full moon, it is sometimes called a Super Moon if the distance is unusally close. Get together with your family and friends for an evening of stargazing and roasting marshmallows over a campfire...you'll have fun!

Very beautiful...we had clouds though. I like being able to see all the craters and formations with the naked eye!

@MrB0TT lol...I got a chuckle out of this comment! I'm not sure Faust would even approve of Obama. :-)

It was under the light of this moon that Obama sacrificed a goat to Mephisophiles!!!
