Super Moon!

Last night, we witnessed an event that only occurs roughly once every eighteen years-- A super moon!
On the moon's cycle around the earth, sometimes it is closer to the earth than others.  When the moon is at it's closest, when it is rising or setting (whenever it's close to the horizon), it appears to be larger than usual... And coupled with a full moon, it's quite a sight.  Check out these photos that popped up on the internet the next morning:
