For centuries strange things have been reported happening during a solar eclipse. Well, you can't get much stranger than a UFO traveling down a highway.
The moon orbits Earth at about 238,855 miles. The International Space Station orbits Earth at about 260 miles.
That's quite a difference.
So, what would it look like if they switched, and the moon orbited the Earth at 260 miles?
A super full moon -- a once-every-20-years event where the moon orbits closest to Earth and appears brightest and largest -- was visible Saturday, March 19, 2011. Several Grand Rapids Press photographers grabbed some really cool shots from around the city.
The super full moon happens once-every-20-years when the moon orbits closest to Earth and appears 14% bigger and 30% brighter. Check eastern sky at sunset tomorrow night for best illusion.
