  Under a Bogus Moon

     FYI, this story about the brightest full Moon has been floating around

     for a couple of weeks...unfortunately it is bogus! The source is the

     Old Farmer's Almanac whose astronomical information is as bad as their

     weather forecasts.

     See this web page for an explanation of why Wednesday's full Moon will

     *not* be the brightest in a century. See:
