Biggest Moon of the Year





On Saturday, Jan. 10 the full moon was 14 percent wider and 30 percent brighter than usual. It was absolutely illuminating the night. I guess it was called a Perigee full moon, and come around once or twice a year. There was one like it in December also. The news said that if you were in a particularly snowy area, the reflection was bright enough to create enough light to read a newspaper. Even if you weren't “with snow" it was still amazing! A perigee is the point where the moon gets closest to the Earth in orbit, so this weekend’s full moon will be big and bright just about anywhere— as long as it’s not too cloudy.

I know that science can explain all this, but I am giving all the credit to our Creator. I mean, how beautiful are these pictures? It was even better in real life. Our God is amazing and nature is such a testament to his glory and majesty!
