its ays on the news...............
Britain will tonight be treated to a spectacular show when the full moon will appear bigger to the naked eye than it has done for a few years!
The moon should give the illusion of a massive glowing sphere when it rises above the horizon shortly after 10.30 pm
Astronomers said the illusion would be caused partly due to the recent passing of the summer solstice.
The Moon is at its lowest point in the sky and the Sun is at its highest.
This factor has been boosted by the Moon being at a particular point in a 18.6-year cycle of "tilted" orbits around the Earth.
But scientists are quick to point out that the show is merely an optical illusion.
I for one will have to see that
