Luna Perigee
btw, look up
the moon is gorgeous right now (that was, actually, the content of the very random text message I received the other night).
the moon is 356754 km away from the earth right now, so it looks huge - that, coupled with the fact that it's a full-moon makes it spectacular to see.
I sat outside watching it for a twenty minutes, sipping on cheap bourbon out of a styrofoam cup, hearing John Vanderslice wailing through the windows. It was a spectacular sight, absolutely gorgeous, seeing that celestial body floating through the sky, bracketed by a thin layer of clouds.
So, I repeat,
Look Up.
