A perigee Moon appears 14% wider and 30% brighter than a normal full Moon, so if it's been seeming really big and bright while waxing over the last week, that's because it has been growing in size from our perspective. (No, Virginia, it doesn't actually gain mass or volume. It's just closer, and closer looks bigger.) And you know that cool thing where the Moon looks huge as it rises from objects along the horizon? Well, it'll appear even more bigger-er!

Enjoy! If it's clear, I'll try to take some new astrophotos through my 'scope.
