Take a peek at the sky tonight and you’ll see a full moon. A full moon is when the moon and the sun are opposite of each other from an earth perspective.
The moon will turn full at 2:09 EDT and just nine minutes earlier it will arrive at its closest point to earth in 2014. Expect a wide tide range and a ‘super’ moon on August 11th. Photographers get your tripod and cameras ready!
