Date March 18th, 2011.
Time: 7-9 p.m.
Location: My driveway in Northern Sarasota.
In expectation of this rare event, I made sure to leave free time on Saturday night in order to observe the moon. The moon this night was the closest it has been to Earth in 18 years and thus looked ENORMOUS compared to usual. I was amazed by its shear size as the Supermoon approached us. Not only was it large, but its color was darker with a yellowish tint as well. However, as a result of this great luminosity as well as the lights from the houses on my road, the viewing of stars was much harder than normal and nothing could be vividly seen to be noted.
