Last night as we were leaving for tap, Jack & Maddie couldn't believe how big & bright the moon looked. I couldnt believe the sky was clear!! We've had such cloudy days recently, I've missed seeing beyond the overcast. They were full of questions about the moon...is it a planet?, are those really craters you see? we had a long q&a on our 10 minute drive. I need to brush up on my astronomy.
We definately thought the star to the left wasnt really a star, but a planet. I did a little reading & found out that Mars will be just left of the moon tonight & it will look very bright & red too.
So tonight for the stargazers/skywatchers out there..around sunset the moon will appear the largest & we will have the biggest, brightest full moon of 2010. I cant wait to bundle up & hope for clear skies again!!
