HAVE YOU SEEN A HONEY MOON?

As the clock ticks over to 11:11pm tonight, the world will experience the first full honey moon on Friday the 13th in almost 100 years. It will appear golden and huge in the sky, so pay attention because it will not happen again until June 2098.

The moon will be extra-beautiful (or creepy, depending on your perspective) because this month's full moon coincides with it being closest to earth during its orbit—so it will appear super large tonight.   The clouds are supposed to cleared out in time for a wonderful night to sit in the moonlight.
