Saturday night the moon was the closest it has been in 18 years making it a "Super Sized Moon" Yahoo gave an explanation as to just why this happened:
"The largest full moon in more than 18 years – a so-called "super moon" – did not disappoint eager skywatchers around the world Saturday when it rose, big and bright, into Earth's night sky.
The full moon of March was 221,565 miles (356,575 kilometers) on Saturday, March 19 just 50 minutes after it hit its full phase, making it the biggest and brightest full moon since 1993. The "super moon" phenomenon occurred because the moon was in its full phase and just 50 minutes past perigee – the point of its orbit that brings it closer to Earth."
To celebrate this glorious phenomenon, Low Tide once again held one of their famous full moon parties.
The Marswell Band played a wide variety of reggae covers, originals and just plain awesome music till late in the evening.
Great turn out, tons of fun, awesome night - Thanks Shane!
