Mooning, not moaning...
Lunacy doesn't get any better than this - when the moon is as bright as it can ever be, full or full of it, and making up for the lack of daylight sun, in a way...!
On the 29th of an otherwise dreary month of January in this year of Our Lord two thousand and ten, the moon throned and shone like nothing else around...! And experts raved on and on about it:
2010 Wolf Moon will appear big and very bright tonight. The first full moon of the year is also known as the wolf moon. The moon appears wider and fuller than any other moon of the year. The name wolf moon came from the hungry wolf packs that howled at the moon near Native American villages hundreds of years ago. Wolf Moon is also referred to as the old moon and moon after Yule.
This full moon will appear 14% wider and 30% brighter than a typical full moon, according to Spaceweather.com
According to Yahoo Space:
The moon is, on average, 238,855 miles (384,400 km) from Earth. The moon's orbit around Earth – which causes it to go through all its phases once every 29.5 days – is not a perfect circle, but rather an ellipse. One side of the orbit is 31,070 miles (50,000 km) closer than the other.
So in each orbit, the moon reaches this closest point to us, called perigee. Once or twice a year, perigee coincides with a full moon, as it will tonight, making the moon bigger and brighter than any other full moons during the year.
In February the full moon is called the ice moon.
The weather in Salt Lake City, Utah is calling for partly cloudy skies tonight, lows in the 20s. The Salt Lake City skies should be perfect for viewing the Wolf Moon.

Says Marci Stone, of the Salt Lake City Headlines Examiner (yet, strangely enough, I picked this up from this site - but. hey, the moon belongs to everyone, eh?)
This spectacular full moon made for very disappointing shots though, as seen here, on Flickr...! (South Carolina... in my heart? Sing on, James - reality differs greatly... as usually!)
I always thought that we gave waaaaaaaay too much importance to that petty itty bitty (not to say puny nor to mention LONE) natural orbiting orb that we were given...!
The moon does a lot of things - reputedly - but it truly is our gravitational pull that is doing those things... And Luna does NOT affect babies' moods, nor our own whenever we romance, no matter how much we are prone to romanticize it - it's all in our heads, darn it!
So forget about lycanthropy already, as well... needless to say!
The French frogs have that saying ("être dans la lune") that expresses -if it doesn't explain- the natural absent-mindedness of some individuals - and, to me, it is ample evidence that ALL that hogwash about the moon is indeed ALL IN THE HEAD!
Numbskulls' heads, that is!
;)
To end on a fitting note, I'd add a song about the moon...
Either The Police's Dancing on the moon...
Or Gowan's Moonlight Desires (they haunt me - hunt me?!?)
But why feed that Luna beastie... EH?!?
It'd be lunacy, verily...
Indubitably!
