Have you looked at the moon tonight?

Drats, it's so overcast i can't see it. Sure, the sky is bright but it's too cloudy....

With my binoculars I can see all the craters quite clear. Cool

From the blog of my favorite meteorologist, Bill Steffen: "The full moon Friday Night (called the “Cold Moon”) is the biggest and brightest of 2008. In fact, it will be 30% brighter and 14% larger than the other full moons of 2008. The moon will be only 221, 560 miles from Earth, making it the closest full moon since 1993. The moon will then move away from the Earth to a distance of 252, 650 on Dec. 26. The full moon closest to the Winter Solstice (Dec. 21) is also the full moon that climbs highest in the sky here in Michigan during the year. The moon will be at an angle of 73.4 deg. above the southern horizon at midnight tonight. We also have a snowcover, which will help illuminate the evening. Don’t wait until tomorrow night, catch a glimpse of the moon tonight. Looking to the southwest in the evening, you can still see the bright planets Venus and Jupiter. You can also watch for meteors or shooting stars. The next three nights are the peak of the Geminid Meteor Shower."

My hubby just asked me to come and take a look outside then I see this post...

It is super bright.

Though it is hard to get a good shot, those are decent pic of the moon.
