Watch out for the 'supermoon' this Saturday night:

The full moon will be closer to the Earth tonight, than at any other time in the year. At its closet point, it will be only 222,000 miles (357,000 km) from the Earth.

Think I might take a peek :)

I totally missed it!

I got so engrossed in a decent film and some booze, I clean forgot to open the curtains and look out.

Duh :crying:
