On Sat. 5/5/12 10:35 PM EDT the SUPER Scorpio full moon will be shining
from the nite sky.......this full moon will be 16% fuller than average. If
you plan on clamming/launching a boat/fishing the tides will be higher/lower
than normal. The last super moon was March 2011.....just for fun,some
celestial side notes..... :)

Thanks. Someone at work was talking about the super moon and I had no idea what it was.

Moonrise on Saturday will be at 7:54 pm.

I can't remember about when (in years) and why there are Harvest Moons. I remember occasional years where it was so big, it was a little scary.

the harvest moon is the September full moon - it rises just as the sun is setting (around 6:30) and therefore extends the amt of time the farmers can be in their fields - harvesting - their crops

(was that the question, or was it something else? that was WHY it's called that, not what causes it to be so big and bright? - )

Great...I have a horrible time sleeping during a normal full moon. Perhaps I will sleep all day Saturday and stay up and howl all night...
CrazyWolf, I'll be sure to to try and keep in tune with your howling :hugegrin:
