Perigee

[Pine Strip]

On Sunday (June 23), the moon will be at its closest point to Earth called perigee.
This relatively close brush will happen as the moon enters its fullest phase, creating the cosmic coincidence known as the supermoon. At its fullest and closest, the moon will appear about 12 percent larger in the sky.

I hope the clouds clear so we can see it here.

Sounds FUN to me, one of these days I've got to buy a good telescope just for fun...
