Hmm,...

14% in size and 30% in brightness could easily resolved by the human
eye-sight. But if there is no object to compare with - the regulative
mechanism of our brain normalize the visuell impression to the 'normal'
values. Perigee swings between new- and full-moon, this takes (if i'm right)
approx. 8 years.

ok, that's my opinion...

Merry christmas and a happy new year!

I think it's a mind play caused by the media hype. Perigee occurs every
month
- why has this never been reported before?   I went out in case some locals
came to our observing area. The full moon looked no brighter or bigger than
usual.  Just my 2¢
