Hi,

Those of you who have read Sky-High 2007 will know that the full moon tonight and tomorrow morning coincides with the day the moon is at minimum perigee for the year.

This morning, through a small gap in the clouds, the rising moon was already quite a sight.

I watched the moon rise from the air yesterday evening at around 5.30pm from Killiney - just incredible!

It can be eerie when it rises like that from the horizon, and the optical illusion that it is HUGE sometimes (when compared to foreground objects). :)
