On 13 November 2016 the moon was the closest it has been to earth since the 26 January 1948. The full moon is actually on the 14 November but the moon is at its closest on the 13 November. The next time the moon comes this close will be on the 25 November 2034. It was fortunate that the sky cleared by late evening. When the moon rose it was behind a tree from where I live and a bit later it was covered in haze but shortly before midnight the sky cleared for a while. Image] occurred on 10 August 2014.
