Another large Full Moon at Perigee this weekend

Sunday it's another full moon at Perigee, when it's at its closest point in its orbit around the Earth.

So it'll appear a little larger, and a little brighter than normal full moons.

Check the IceInSpace Moon Phase page for rise and set times for your location (requires you to be logged in and set your lat/long in your profile).

For more info about this, check the Science@NASA page.
