Moon, have you checked it out???

Great picture Ed! Thanks!

Now I don't have to risk getting Zika virus going out to look at it. Lousy mosquitoes!

It looks somewhat bigger than usual to me, but that isn't something to fret about.
I worry about people living near the coasts where they have to deal with tides. The closer the moon gets to the earth, the stronger its gravitational pull on the earth, and the stronger the pull, the higher the high tides go and the lower the low ones go. That could cause problems for the folks living near the oceans.

And, I wonder if there could possibly be a relationship between the increased tides and the recent earthquakes affecting the earth.
