Supermoon tonight...
Another "supermoon" is in the offing. The perigee full moon on May 5, 2012 will be as much as 14 percent bigger and 30 percent brighter than other full moons of 2012.

Clear for once in Indiana, and I got my telescope out for some good views. Got some good views of Venus as well.

Some speculate that supermoons coincide with natural disasters....
