I think we should see this as an opportunity to explain something about the night sky to people who only know bout what is reported in the paper. My only concern is that media reports make it sound like an amazing sight whereas it is interesting, rather than spectacular.
I have had people ask me about it and I explain to them what it is all about, most would have no idea that the moon will vary in size from month to month. I have also taken the opportunity to make a basic explanation of how the view of the night changes through the year.
