I totally agree Sol.
It’s an astronomical event that anyone who can look outside with at least one working eye can enjoy. No fancy (expensive) equipment required.
An event like this can be the start of someone’s lifelong love of astronomy.
And let’s not forget that a lot to do with astronomy is about the numbers as opposed to what you can and can’t see. You know, so many millions of light years away and such. This will be the closest the moon has been since 1948. I don’t find that insignificant.
I find the moon beautiful regardless of phase and a supermoon rising above the horizon especially so.
