Supermoon tonight!

"This full moon is not only the closest and largest full moon of the year, according to astronomy website EarthSky. It's also the moon's closest encounter with Earth in all of 2013. So it's not just a supermoon — it's the closest supermoon of the half-dozen or so that will occur this year."

edit --> SUPERMOON Tomorrow Night! 

 

sister Annie you may be right, this site says it's about the same both nights yet I guess it depends on where you are...

 

"Full moon falls on June 23, 2013 at 11:32 UTC (6:32 a.m. CDT in the U.S.). Thus, for many, the moon appears about as full in the June 22 evening sky as it does on the evening of June 23. This full moon is not only the closest and largest full moon of the year. It also presents the moon’s closest encounter with Earth for all of 2013. The moon will not be so close again until August, 2014. In other words, it’s not just a supermoon. It’s the closest supermoon of 2013."
