Friday Night's Perigee Moon
Anyone whom happened to see the moon Friday night, may have caught themselves taking a second glance at the illumined man in the sky, the reason being that Friday's moon was colossal.
Due to its oblong lunar orbit which brings the moon more than 250,000 miles closer to Earth, the moon appears 14 percent bigger than any full moon this year.
I was on my way to dinner when I saw the moon at Jolly Road and Timberfare Circle in Plymouth Meeting. I had to pull over, much to the delight of my girlfriend, so that I could take a photo of the titanic moon as it shown over the creek that runs between Beacon Hill Circle and Timberfare Lane.
