Hey Bob check out spaceweather.com There is a reason for the bright full moon tonight. This is not openwheel related but I thought you guys might enjoy it. Tonight (25-26) the moon will be the brightest it has ever been in 2007, it will look 14 percent bigger and 30 percent brighter because one side of it is 30,000 miles closer to earth than it has been. Now the bad side click on the tide report and see what happened in 1978 when this last happened.

Way to much cloudcover here. There is also supposed to be a Comet in the NE sky. Can be viewed with a cam with a zoom.

Don, did you stay up later than me, or was I on the wrong side of the tracks?
