    Smoke up and look at the moon tonight. We won't have this conversation again until 2039.

    "Check out the full moon this evening--it could be 14 percent bigger and 30 percent brighter than usual, according to NASA. The moon has an elliptical orbit around the Earth; when the moon seems smaller and more distant, it's on the farthest side (apogee) of its orbit, while the perigee side is about 31,000 miles closer to Earth"

    And if I'm telling you people to do this again in 2039 we're all in trouble...

    I LOVE them. I've never liked Quiznos. But I loved those commercials.

    I read that the moon used to be alot closer when it was first formed. I wonder how big it looked back then.

    I thought, where is that flourescent light coming from? Looked outside and realized it was the moon last night. Wow, was it illuminating.

    I saw the light of Luna low on the horizon, with a light of mustardy yellow and white brilliance – surrounded by clouds of mystique.
    In its own special way = Spectacular

    The moon was wicked bright last night. At around 9pm I didn't see anything and was sad, then at 10pm it was out. By midnight i went outside and it was spooky as hell. The moon looked like a damn flashlight pointing at me. Awesome.
