I will if I can see it! I am in the San Francisco Bay Area, there are a succession of storms headed this way and it is supposed to rain through next Wednesday.
I hope to see some good shots of it on the news. It is supposed to rain here.
I’ll probably glance at it. I don’t see anything really special about it.
I see the moon every night man, whether it’s there or not. :D
Hell yes! The moon was huuuuuge on my way home tonight. Stuff like this is really neat.
Also, it’s so cool that your username is @gravity.
I took a minute to admire it tonight! I will def do the same tomorrow night. Maybe I can get the kiddos I’ll be babysitting interested in it.
do u mean am i gunna watch it because its a full moon? its over Australia at the moment and its beautiful :)
I am at a party tonight but I will definetly try to get outside to have a look.
I am out camping with the Boy Scouts right now and that moon was so bright last night it was like camping in a Wallmart parking lot! No flashlights needed!
I will.
I hope to get some good photos of it over the river.:)
My camera is ready. I just hope the clouds stay away.
@Cruiser I couldn’t believe how bright it was last night. It was beautiful. How lucky you are! Have fun. :)
I would like to see it. I a hoping that my husband can take a picture of it.
I’m in the Sierra Nevada foothillsof Ca. and If the next west coast storm tomorrow doesn’t obscure it, you betcha’, I’ll be in my hot tub basking under the super moon. :-)

March 18–20, 2011 Special Full Moon
The Full Moon of March 19, 2011 will be a special type of full moon since it will coincide with the moon’s perigee. When the moon is at perigee, it is at its closest approach to earth. This happens about every month but not every time there is a full moon. The illustration below shows the idea of perigee.
Not only will full moon and perigee coincide, but the Sun and Moon will be lined up with the earth’s equator since it’s almost the time of the vernal equinox (March 20th). The scientific term for this full moon at perigee is “perigee-syzygy” but astrologer Richard Nolle has coined the more vernacular term “supermoon.”
Alas, completely overcast here, so thick I can’t even tell where the moon is.
it was over Australian 13 hours ago and it was really big and beautiful :) shoula of got a photo
