A Big Pizza Pie!

Summary: On May 5th at 11:36 PM (est) the full moon will achieve perigee. Making a close pass to Earth, it will appear 14 percent bigger and 30 percent brighter than normal.

Why it's a Mind Blow: As the full moon comes closer to Earth, there will be some interesting scientific results. For example, tidal fluctuations in the Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia may range as much as 55 feet!

But for all you lunatics who find yourself restless when the moon waxes full, this will be a special occasion to howl. The moon won't be this big and bright again until 2014. That's why I'm giving you plenty of notice. This Cinco de Mayo, grab someone you love and make it an evening to remember, cause it promises to be a marvelous night for a moon dance!
