Yule Moon

yule-moon Notice that brilliant moon this morning (if you saw it?) It was the Yule Moon, and if you thought it was brighter or bigger than normal, you’re not going crazy. This is the closest the moon has been to the earth since 1993! After today, you’ll have to wait another 8 years to see it this close again. If you want to read more about it, click here for an article from Earth & Sky.

If you didn’t see it last night/this morning, try this evening…but I think cloud cover is going to win over.
