Last night, March 19, or early this morning of March 20, 2011 brought the Supermoon to the earth. No wonder I was sleepless with the extra bright moonlight.
It was said the Supermoon was closer to Earth than it has been in more than 18 years, and it was the biggest full moon of 2011. At its peak, the supermoon may appear 14% larger and 30% brighter than lesser full moons when the moon is at its farthest from earth.
Lucky us! The supermoon would not cause natural disasters, such as the Japan earthquakes, we were assured by a NASA scientist, but bigger waves, as always. So watch out for the flooding warnings along the East and West coasts.
