Tonight's Full Moon is a "Supermoon". The moon is 221,565 miles from earth (the closest since March 1993).
Unfortunately in Kota Kinabalu, it is totally overcast (satellite weather image from Koichi University website for 8pm 19 March 2011).
So the moon could only be seen through the clouds. It is said to be 14% bigger (apparent size) and 30% brighter than normal. A proper photo of the moon tonight can be seen at www.space.com.
