I saw on the news this morning that tonight there's going to be a 'Super Moon' happening. My daughter took a beautiful picture with some tree branches off to the side - sorry I don't know how to down load the pic. I hope you can enjoy the beauty. Here's a link also and I wonder if this kind of moon does affect behavior - both me and my daughters are extra energetic and perky lol. This is a description of what it is and I hope it's clear where you live to see it.

"A supermoon is bigger and brighter than an ordinary full moon. The reason: the moon's orbit around the earth is elliptical, not round. And so when the elliptical path passes closest to earth - as it will Saturday night - a full moon becomes 14 per cent wider and 30 per cent brighter than an average full moon. Not since 1992 has the moon passed as close to Earth as it will Saturday night."
