CELESTIAL ALERT OCTOBER 24th - Hunters Moon

MOON

'Tonight's full moon is the Hunter's Moon. It's also the closest and
therefore biggest full moon of 2007.

Tonight's moon will be about 50,000 kilometers – or 30,000 miles –
closer to the Earth than 2007's most distant and smallest full moon,
last April.

This October full moon is the Hunter's Moon for the northern
hemisphere. That's the name for the full moon following the Harvest
Moon in September. This October full Hunter's Moon comes at precisely
4:52 a.m. Universal Time Friday. For the continental U.S., that means
the full moon comes this evening or around midnight Thursday night,
when the moon will be shining sky high.

At the same time – on the opposite side of the world in East Asia and
Indonesia – this same full moon will be reaching its peak at noontime
Friday.

No matter where you live, all of you will see a large and full-looking
moon all night tonight. You'll see the moon rising in the east around
sunset, highest in the sky around local midnight and setting in the
west around sunrise.

Around the time of each full moon, the moon stays out all night long.
That's because, in order to appear full, the moon has to be opposite
the sun.

Enjoy looking at the wonderful entrancing moon'
