it happens on the 19th of march, but im not positive on how long its supposed to last, or when.

Cloudy and rainy here today. Oh well, I guess I'll have to wait another 30 years.

21 miles closer is noticeable?

That's cool, but I personally don't see a slightly larger moon is so cool, I guess because it's such a rare event or something, but I don't really see what's so exciting.

i know i put 21 miles, a mistake on my part :P but yeah, it has to be 21000, because 21 miles isnt much...at all

Not sure if this is a dumb question, but will this have any effect on tides?

Yea i read about this, thanks for reminding me i wanted to see it :)

How super, on a scale of one to ten?

I'm looking at it right now. It doesn't look noticably bigger than usual, but it is indeed VERY bright.

In fact it's so bright that it produces a lens flare when photographed.

it's 11:30 pm here in europe already.

Quick snap I took of the supermoon earlier. Photoshop isn't working so had to edit using Photobucket *shudders*. Wish I lived out in the country with nice scenery, not houses and street lights which I had to frame out :L

I have a minigun that fires silver bullets, I will survive the night.:D

It's night in the UK and I don't see any difference in the size.
