You guys see the moon?
It's 14% bigger tonight than usual.
Next time this happens is 2029.
Pic unrelated.

Not 14% bigger than usual. 14% bigger than when it's furthest away.

Anyone have great photographs from the world yet of this once-in-a-lifetime event? Or live feed from any observatories? I know lots of astrofags are going nutz over this.
Inb4 usual "not once in a lifetime" idiocy, etc.

conversation:

me: "It doesn't look any bigger. If noone told me about it, I doubt I would have even noticed."
other: "It *d0es* look brighter."
me: "I guess."

Actually it's still the same size.

The brightness is neat. You can see everything but it's night. It's crazy man, I just walked around for 20 minutes just looking at how things I see in the day look at night.

It's like that every fucking night.

What the fuck is wrong with you people. This isn't a once in a liftime eventany more than how I just stroked my dick. I will never stroke it again in quite that same manner.
