Nature Mother's Super Show : Behold the supermoon

The full Harvest Moon will light up the night sky on Monday at 9:38 p.m. EDT, and this year it comes with an extra bounty. Tonight's full moon will cap a trio of back-to-back "supermoons" for the Northern Hemisphere summer, according to NASA.

Monday's full moon is the one nearest to the September equinox this year, giving it the moniker of
Harvest Moon by the usual definition. If you've got a clear sky, the supermoon will appear up to 14 percent larger and and 30 percent brighter than it usually does, according to Space.com.

  1. Wow Guys!
    What spectacular pictures and what a great post! I can't thank you enough. I did not get to see the moon in person so thank you very much. My junior scientists are on the job. You have been a big help to me this week. And you have posted articles that I am so interested in.
    Love you both to pieces,
    Aunt Jeannie

  3. Dear Jonny
    Seeing the supermoon through the telescope is always so wonderful, I can hardly believe what I am seeing. I am so glad Sha and Sheryl have joined your NASA class. They are smart and they will be amazed by our galaxy, just like you and I are.
    I am so grateful that you are sharing your stuff with me. I haven't done much research lately and I sure do miss it. Please thank Jenny for me too.
    Poppa is very funny and I know mama has fun with him. He will take good care of her in Reno.
    I am very proud of all of you for doing so well in karate. You know mama is going to cry every time you all get a belt, that's how you know she's happy...hahahaha! Daddy will never spank her musty butt but it sure would be funny to see. They enjoy joking with each other.
    I hope you are all doing great at school and have some teachers you like and enjoy learning from. Has the debate team had any meetings yet this year?
    I think of you all often and like to think you are all happy and growing tall and healthy.
    Thank all of you for caring about me.
    I love you very much,
    Aunt Jeannie

  4. Aunt Jeannie , the moon was so big and bright , it was beautiful , it seem so close you could touch it .
    Mama say just use her witchy cat if she is not here so our comments will be here when you come . we can use our names on the others .Just sign our name and you will know .
    Daddy say he will get some peace and quiet while mama and poppa is gone , we will spend a lot of time looking at the stars if the sky is clear . we are very happy and daddy say mama will not have to go out of town soon . We miss mama when she is not here , daddy can't go he has to go to court on a big deal . Uncle Harvey is going with them and a lady that will run the clean up people in the casino . Daddy say mama will stay home with us .
    We have a new debate teacher and he is nice , he said he was happy he got us because he likes to be on a winning team . Cathy told him we are winners because we do it our way . Aunt Jeannie Jenny say you are welcome because mama told us she is not felling well but you are getting better . We send you lots and lots of kisses , we love you very much .
    Aunt Jeannie , when mama get back I thin I will get braces and Chris to , do not know yet what the dentist will say .Love you from the cubs
