Why did the fullmoon so bright last night?

I don't think anyone, NASA included, was claiming something unusual
about the Moon last night. It was mentioned in one news release that
the Moon would be full near time a perigee, which would make it a little
closer than its average distance, and thus a little brighter. But I
don't think it was in the guise of a "new discovery". It was
informational for the majority of folks that don't bother getting
outside to experience the night sky, stuck instead in front of the TV or
computer gaming.


Nasa are dumb guy's if they can't explain that moon was close to the
Earth shadow (the eye of Horus) ... which means that the Moon faced the
sun... Why the moon was so bright...

"according to the belief and account of the Egyptians, eTyphon(socalled
by the ancients) at one time smites the eye of Horus, and at another
time snatches it out and swallows it, and then later gives it back
again to the Sun. By the smiting, they refer allegorically to the
monthly waning of the moon, and by the crippling, to its eclipse, which
the Sun heals by shining straight upon it as soon as it has escaped the
shadow of the earth."

Thanks for wasting our time, again. I did not say NASA did not explain
it (they actually did in the release I saw). I said that a report from
a NASA news source simply pointed out something to those who do not get
out and might want to see the phenomenon. It wasn't unusual to those of
us that observe regularly, but might be to those minions that do not.
