Wolf's Moon


The full moon through this Saturday will be the largest and brightest of the year. This is also called the Wolf Moon, which will be 14 percent wider and 30 percent brighter than a typical full moon.The moon's orbit around Earth is not a circle, but an ellipse, with one side 50,000 km closer to Earth than the other. The... point of closest approach is called the "perigee," and that is where the moon will be Friday night through Saturday morning.

This report comes thanks to the ever-vigilant Jorge Socarras.

Cloud cover should prevent my viewing of this moon.

My body doesn't need eyes to feel its power.

Hair is sprouting from my pores like Lon Chaney.

A warning.

Never shaved body hair.
