Since the moon has an eliptical orbit sometimes it is closer to us than other times. This makes it seem 14% bigger (though it's hard to tell) and 30% brighter and when this coincides with a full moon it's called a super moon and it's happening TONIGHT!! Tonight the moon will only be 221567 miles away!! And it's not even cloudy so we should be able to see it well!!
The closeness of the moon should only increase sea tides by a few cm and although there is no proven like between human behavoir and the moon the word lunacy is derived from the Roman goddess of the moon Luna so beware!!
The full moon has been linked with death, destruction and disaster. Brian will be pleased!
