Witness The First Full Moon Of The Year

Posted by Merry Jazz on Jan 9, 2009 in Astronomy, Science |

The 2008 ended with the last perigee Full Moon and now as we begin the 2009, we are lucky to witness another perigee Full Moon tomorrow, January 10, 2009!

If you have time, check this first Full Moon Cruise of the year because according to United States’ National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA),  perigee Full Moons come once or twice a year and when we say perigee Full Moon, it means that the moon will be brightest and biggest in appearance (around 30 % brighter and 14 % bigger than usual moon appearances).

And I think, I only seen perigee Full Moon twice during my childhood years and boy, it was lovely! I can still remember that the moon during that time is so huge, bright and seems to be just above the palm trees in our neighborhood. And hopefully, I can witness it again tomorrow and of course; I will not let that event passed without taking a picture of it. :)
