Moonstruck.
A Micro Moon was back in town.
There was much chatter about the moon this past weekend. A Micro Moon is a Full or New Moon near apogee—the Moon’s farthest point from Earth.
CNN —
February's full moon, known as the snow moon, is set to peak on Saturday, shining bright around the world in the night sky.
The moon [was] at its most full at 7:30 a.m. ET Saturday, according to EarthSky, but to the human eye, the moon will appear full for a couple of days, so the best time to view it will be the nights before and after its peak.
While called the snow moon, the golden orb will look almost like any ordinary full moon. But this moon will be a Micro Moon, meaning it might look slightly smaller than usual.
This approximates what you saw if you,like me, were Moonstruck this weekend.
I will return tomorrow, looking at the world without the dazzle of the moon.
