The word “supermoon” is in the news in the US. Apparently the moon is very close to the Earth now, so it looks bigger and brighter than usual. People are posting pictures on the internet from places all over the world. The good news is that we have had clear nights since I arrived in New Hampshire (near Boston), and the moon certainly is beautiful. The bad news is that this is the best time of the year to see shooting stars (meteorite showers). When the moon is this bright, you can only see the meteorite showers in the early morning before sunrise. I don’t think I can get up that early. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
