10. I'm kinda scared

to open any thread in the loungw with the word "moon" in the title. :scared: :D

[Heidi]

13. Me, too.

But I grew up in northeastern Oklahoma, where the word "moon" more often has an entirely different context. :rofl:

:hi:

[guitar man]

I'm a Tulsa boy myself...

[Heidi]

I lived in Collinsville for a while back in the early '90s

[Heidi]

28. Collinsville

:hug: :loveya:

[Haole Girl]

19. It really, really, really...

feels like it is.
:scared:

[Heidi]

22. What would _really_ be great

is if I would wake up tomorrow morning and find a note under my pillow, "Dear Heidi, it's not only full moon, but it's MENOPAUSE! Love, the Goddess"

:bounce:

[Shine]

30. Technically, it's tomorrow, but...

the energy of the full moon lasts from the two days prior, to the two days post full-moon. This one should be a doozy!
:hi:

[Haole Girl]

31. Where did you find a calendar showing tomorrow?

Just curious? :hi:

33. Hmmm gonna be a big one to!!

BIG FULL MOON: This week's full Moon is the biggest full Moon of 2007. It's no illusion. Some full Moons are genuinely larger than others and Thursday night's will be a whopper. Why? Read the answer below.



The Moon's orbit is an ellipse with one side 30,000 miles closer to Earth than the other. The full Moon of Oct. 25-26 is located on the near side, making it appear as much as 14% bigger and 30% brighter than lesser full Moons we've seen earlier in 2007.

In the language of astronomy, the two ends of the Moon's orbit are called "apogee" and "perigee." Apogee is the farthest point, perigee the nearest: diagram. This week's full Moon is a "perigee Moon" with extra-high "perigean tides."

The Moon is 14% bigger, but can you actually tell the difference? It's not so easy. There are no rulers floating in the sky to measure lunar diameters. A fun experiment: Take a friend outside Thursday night and ask if they notice anything unusual about the Moon. Explain perigee after they answer.
