Scientists say the moon rising in the east at sunset will appear 14 percent bigger and 30 percent brighter at its peak.
Full moons vary in size because of the oval shape of the moon's orbit, with one end closer to Earth. Today, the moon is 221,565 miles away, as compared to the average distance of 238,000 miles - the closest to Earth since March 1993.
It didn't look that different to me but maybe I was looking at the wrong time.
