Tonight: Biggest, Brightest Supermoon of 2010

Tonight we’ll not only have the first full moon of this year but also the biggest, brightest moon of all of 2010. Some scientists are even calling tonight’s phenomenon a “Supermoon” because it’s going to be so huge (30% bigger than any other full moon this year) and bright (14% brighter than any other), which means if you live somewhere with clear skies you’ll really get to see some impressive details not normally visible on the moon’s surface.

It’s gonna be cold but I can’t wait to see it. :)

Awesome Old Junk Car Fund

I'm finally getting a car so thank you all for your generosity! Every penny has been saved for this purpose and if it weren't for your generous donations I'd possibly be waiting another 9 months. Thank you!
