@blueveinedthrobber,
Too cloudy here, couldn't see it at all.
I did see the last super moon which was this big and close to earth in 1993, and, because I hadn't heard any publicity about it beforehand, I was totally unprepared for the jaw-dropping spectacular sight that came into view when I was driving home from work one night just as it was starting to get really dark. I turned a corner and, straight in front of me, just over the horizon, was the most enormous, but enormous, golden moon I had ever seen in my life. I just gasped and couldn't take my eyes off it--it's a wonder I didn't wrap my car around a tree. It looked unreal.
I don't remember anyone talking about it on the news the next day either, and it wasn't until this week that I finally understood what I saw that night. It was a sight I've never forgotten.
