A composite picture, based on an image of the moon taken by the Galileo spacecraft, shows the apparent size differences between a full moon at perigee (the closest point in lunar orbit) and one at apogee (the farthest point), as seen from Earth.
On December 12, 2008, the full moon will be at an unusually close perigee, offering sky-watchers a view of the biggest and brightest full moon seen since 1993.
The moon has been looking shockingly large since the last 3 nights but tonight will be it's peak time,specially when it's 3 or 4 (Beirut time) when the moon is on the horizon level.
worth checking out,trust me.
