  1. I did see the moon Saturday evening. I noticed that the moon was way bigger than normal and I also noticed that it was a very bright yellow color, it also produced a lot of light. I thought that that moon was really big and cool.

    No, we did not see the super moon. We learned that on Saturday that it was the closet to earth that it had been in its orbit. We also learned that the moon appeared 14% bigger than all the other future and past full moons of 2012. We thought that the moon looked really big and awesome.

    No, I did not see one on Saturday. But it would be really cool to see one. The Article was very interesting though, I liked the picture's very much because, they showed how big the moon was.

    We did not see the moon on Saturday night. In the article I learned that during the supermoon it was it was at its closest point that it ever was to earth. the result was it was the biggest moon of the year, NASA named it the Supermoon 2012. the moon hit its peack at 11:34.NASA predicted that the moon would look up to 14 percent bigger than other full moons of 2010 and could shine 30 percent brighter because of the close pass.

  9. I did not see the moon, and if I did I wasn't paying enough attention to notice anything different about it. I learned that that was the closest the moon has ever been to earth. I also learned that NASA named it Supermoon 2012.

    We both saw the moon on Saturday. We both noticed it was bright yellow. We also noticed it was light, and it was also really big.

    Yes we noticed that it was a bright yellow. It almost had a glow to it, it had like a bright yellowish haze to it. It was very interesting but we didn't know NASA named it the super moon of 2012.
    It was by far the biggest moon I've ever seen. What else did you all see?
