BIG FULL MOON: This week's full Moon (Oct. 25-26) is the biggest full Moon of 2007. It's no illusion. Some full Moons are genuinely larger than others and Thursday night's will be as much as 14% wider and 30% brighter than lesser full Moons we've seen earlier this year. Check http://spaceweather.com for the reasons why.

I just went out to get the newspaper and could not believe how big and bright the moon is! Truly a sight to behold. Thanks, Don!

I can't speak for other areas, but in the Conway area sunset on the 25th will be at 6:23PM with Moonrise at 5:19PM. Could make for some interesting color on that big moon.
