Hello, <br />Hoping someone can help me with this. When I was around 13 or 14 (so that would be 1984 or 1985), I was home alone one evening, noticed that it was very bright outside, went out to look, and the moon was HUGE! This is how huge....I walked out to the middle of the street and looked directly at the moon; the view was about two blocks away, which is where the road curved away and down, making the horizon appear to be only those two blocks away. The moon was full, and larger than the entire width of the two lane road! It truley looked like I could walk those two blocks and step directly onto the moon. I don't know if this matters, but this was in Florida, just north of Tampa. I know I wasn't the only one in the state who saw this, but my family wasn't home, and everyone I did ask at the time didn't see it. I heard that the moon comes very close to the earth every so often, but can't find any info on it. Could you tell me what this may have been? I've never seen anything like it since, and would love to show a picture to my kids if anyone knows where to find one. Someone somewhere must have one? Thanks, <br />Heather
