Hunter’s Moon out tonight, smallest full moon of 2011

By

Even though there’s a full moon Tuesday night, it will not dominate the sky.

In fact, we will see the smallest full moon of the entire year.

It’s called the Hunter’s Moon, or the Blood Moon — that’s the name given to the first full moon after the harvest moon.

Tonight, Earth’s orbiting neighbour will be close to 405,000 kilometres away, the furthest distance possible.
