JUST LOOKED OUT UPSTAIRS WINDOW AND SAW THE MOON PEEKING OUT. 

Here is what WIKI says about the moon. 

 The Moon is Earth's only natural satellite. At about one-quarter the diameter of Earth (comparable to the width of Australia),^[16] it is the fifth largest satellite in the Solar System, the largest satellite in the Solar System relative to its major planet,^[f] and larger than any known dwarf planet. The Moon is a planetary-mass object that formed a differentiated rocky body, making it a satellite planet under the geophysical definitions of the term.^[17] It lacks any significant atmosphere, hydrosphere, or magnetic field. Its surface gravity is about one-sixth of Earth's (0.1654 g). Jupiter's moon Io is the only satellite in the Solar System known to have a higher surface gravity and density.

Orbiting Earth at an average distance of 384,400 km (238,900 mi), or about 30 times Earth's diameter, its gravitational influence very slowly lengthens Earth's day and is the main driver of Earth's tides. The Moon's orbit around Earth has a sidereal period of 27.3 days. During each synodic period of 29.5 days, the amount of visible surface illuminated by the Sun varies from none up to 100%, resulting in lunar phases that form the basis for the months of a lunar calendar. The Moon is tidally locked to Earth, which means that the length of a full rotation of the Moon on its own axis causes its same side (the near side) to always face Earth, and the somewhat longer lunar day is the same as the synodic period. That said, 59% of the total lunar surface can be seen from Earth through shifts in perspective due to libration.

WHEN MY HELPER MARISSA was here yesterday, July 19, she helped me figure out the p/code to get on my blog. I have written it down. 

Let's see if I can find photos of the big ole moon.
