A change of weather? and a "super Moon"

New sunspot 1476 is turning toward Earth and bringing with it an upsurge in solar activity. It released a medium sized M class flare this morning followed by a string of smaller "Cs" later in the day. This may mean a change to the quiet space weather of recent days.
Tonight's full Moon is the closest of the year (actually near 3:30 UT Sunday morning). I captured it just before it rose into the clouds here near Birr.
