The Full moon (diameter 33.476') in the constellation Libra is at 3:35.1 UT, 6th May, 2012.  Lunar perigee is at 3:40.1 UT, 6th of May, 2012.

This 'Perigee-Syzygy' or 'Supermoon' will be the biggest full moon of the year.
Expect a large range in ocean tides (exceptionally low to exceptionally high) for the next few days.
