How like a queen comes forth the lonely Moon
From the slow opening curtains of the clouds
Walking in beauty to her midnight throne!

Todays cliche shot - "on Saturday, Jan 10th. the moon will be the biggest and brightest for this year of 2009...
It will be the biggest and brightest one of 2009, sure to wow even seasoned observers...
Saturday night (Jan. 10) the moon will be at perigee, the closest point to us on this orbit...
It will appear about 14 percent bigger in our sky and 30 percent brighter than some other full moons during 2009, according to NASA."
It was indeed a big, beautiful moon!
