Super Full Moon



On Satuday, 19 March 2011, the moon arrived at perigee at approximately 19h09 - at that point in time the moon was only 356,575 km from earth.   From what I 've heard over the radio the moon appeared 14% bigger and 30% brighter than usual.

Stretch and I drove to a koppie close to our house to take this photo.  It was really a beautiful evening with very little wind.  The only thing that spoiled it was some idiot who parked his car a few meters from mine  hampering my efforts to get a shot of the moon through some tree branches. I  cursed him all the way home - so, I guess by now his suffering from acute diarrhea!!! :D
