I didn't see it as bigger either, but definitely brighter.. I didn't know there was supposed to be anything special, but the night before the full moon, and on the full moon, I was noticing the moon more. It drew my attention but I didn't consciously think about it.
Super Moon 2013
Looks like we have another "super moon" occurence tonight (Sunday 23rd).
This will be the closest perigee full moon of 2013.

Though for those in a different frame of mind, this is a good one too.

Last night I saw the white disk right above my head, but tonight it looks indeed bigger. Last night there was a halo, if that is the correct technical name for what I saw, surrounding it at some distance, not really close to the moon but quite away from it. Pity I lack a good camera.
I hopped on the scale last night hoping that the maximized gravitational pull from the supermoon would tug me lighter, but it didn't seem to help much.

My sister and I saw it. It was large and yellow and very super!

I'm a little confused? Super Moon on May 5th? Here is is June and the super moon graced the Dog Park on Saturday the 23rd. Is this post skipping and I lost track?

Everyone finds himself in the world where he belongs. The essential thing is to have a fixed point from which to check its reality now and then.

Sorry for the confusion, I was trying to save the Earth by recycling my super moon thread from last year.
Glad you got out to take a look.
