On Saturday, the moon will be up to 14 percent bigger and 30 percent brighter than the other full moons of 2012, according to NASA.

It should be a gorgeous display if the weather cooperates. The moon will appear largest and most dazzling when it's near the horizon, as seen in this photo gallery showing last year's super moon.

be SO beautiful! Get out there and see it, it's gonna be awesome! ​

I have to get out of the city to see this... I might be indoors at this time but I try to get a glimpse of it
 
The size difference was not that significant, since I could only see when it was high in the sky (a lot of trees around here, hard to see when it first came out in the horizon). But it did look a lot brighter. :)
 
Was just outside - couldn't actually see the moon with the clouds in the way, but it did look a lot brighter as Jade said. Might wait a few more hours before I go back out again.

EDIT:

Make a few more hours a few more minutes... Clouds cleared for a sec and I managed to get a few pics... These were taken on my phone so not the best quality. Might go out with my actual camera next.

Wow awesome pics John!! thanks for sharing!
 
I live in a highly wooded area and the moon is just getting more visible here, its midnight and I'm staying up late to keep watching it. I'm hoping it's gonna light the forest up soon (then I'll see 10000 eyes glowing out there in the trees and come running back to the house before I get any pics lol. Gonna try in another half hour hopefully it will be more easy to see.

We didn't have much cloud cover here last night so I could see it pretty well. It didn't seem a whole lot bigger than usual but it was pretty bright.

This picture was on the news, about an hour from where I live but I did not see the moon like this:

That happens when the moon is rising, thats why i did not approve of the time. If we were out at sun set, we would see the above. A bronze moon, bigger than usual. The moon is always bronze when it is rising.
