This sounds really cool. Try to check it out if you can:
"Amateur astronomers will have quite a bit to look at this weekend when the moon makes its closet approach to Earth in nearly two decades, passing at a distance of about 211,000 miles. Known as a perigee moon -- or by the colloquial moniker "supermoon" -- Saturday's full moon will appear 14% bigger and 30% brighter than normal, according to NASA. Some astrologers are blaming the phenomenon for the earthquake and tsunami that recently hit Japan, but that theory has been debunked by scientists. Space.com (3/13), CNN (3/18)"
