Default Not so super 'super' moon...

Now I don't know about anyone else, but the so-called 'super moon' didn't
look any bigger than loads of other moon rises I've witnessed.
The full-moon at moonrise often appears much bigger (and so does the sun at
sunrise).
OK, so it's also supposed to be closer to us in its orbit to boot, but I
reckon that extra closeness is not THAT close that you're going to be able
to visually notice the difference.
Eye-catcing it was... but no more eye-catching than many another moonrise at
full moon.

Regards... David Allan.
