Year's Biggest Full Moon

I was out walking with the dogs when I noticed that it's Full Moon, big and well-shaped. After doing a google search, it is a fact that tonight is the year's biggest full moon. As the Earth's natural satellite reaches its closest point to our planet, it makes it evident for the moon to be at it biggest.
By the law of Science, the Earth, the moon and the sun are all bound together by gravity, which keeps us going around the sun and keeps the moon going around us as it goes through phases. The moon makes a trip around Earth every 29.5 days. But the orbit is not a perfect circle. The moon's average distance from us is about 238,855 miles (384,400 km). Friday night it will be just 221,560 miles (356,567 km) away.
It will be 14 percent bigger in our sky and 30 percent brighter than some other full moons during the year.
That seems to be an interesting fact! Besides that, full-moon is the perfect time for lovers as it is quite romantic. On the other hand, as much as there is no scientific explanation, things could go crazier every full moon, too. ;-)
