Friday will mark the biggest and brightest full moon for us this year. The reason for this hinges on the path of the moon’s orbit around the Earth.The moon’s orbit brings the moon a little more than 30,000 miles closer to the Earth. When that happens, we see the brightest and largest full moons. Conversely, we see the smallest full moons as the moon’s orbit swings away from the Earth it is known as “apogee” (far away) and “perigee” (nearby). This will make this moon 14 percent bigger and 30 percent brighter than other full moons that we have had the pleasure of watching this year.Here is a diagram that shows how this particular phenomenon stacks up to a more typical full moon. Now, are you going to be able to see it? We’ve had our fair share of clouds and snow already this week, and we have another storm system bearing down on us for next week. The answer is: Most likely you will see it, but you may have to wait for some of the passing clouds to move by. Grab your telescopes and cameras if you choose to go out and look.We would love to get a weather photo from you. All you have to do is go to LJWorld.com/weatherphotos and send it in!
