And The Cow Jumped Over The Moon?

Hey diddle diddle,

The Cat and the fiddle,

The Cow jumped over the moon,

The little Dog laughed to see such a sport,

And the Dish ran away with the Spoon.

Last night the Moon was brilliant because the Moon's revolution had reached perigee, which is the closest point the Moon will be to the Earth in its revolution.  This is unique because the Moon was 221,566 miles

away from the Earth. This is the closet the Moon has been to the Earth in 18 years. Last night was also unique because it was a full moon, called the "super moon,"  making the moon appear larger than it actually is.  The average distance the Moon is from earth in normally 238, 857 miles, so last night was a special night.

 The Moon was so beautiful in the clear sky that I actually think,

 I saw the cow jump over the moon!

  We first "peaked" at the Moon last night at 8:00pm. We stood in the street in front of our house and just stared at it. It was so big, round and beautiful.  The sky was so clear, so it was especially brilliant and amazing. Then we "peaked" again around 9:30pm.  The Moon's position in the sky was a little higher and now over our house.  We did not "peak" again until we noticed that the Moon was shining brilliantly in our bedroom window at 5:00 am.  We opened the curtain and watched it until it set. Incidentally, the setting of the Moon also launched the first day of spring! Happy Spring!  Enjoy each and every moment of your day.
