According to an article in NorthJersey.com, the moon was at its closest point to the earth, an event known as Perigee-syzygy, on March 19, 2011. It won’t be this close again, and estimated distance of 221,556 miles, until November 14, 2016. Though the difference in size of the moon to the naked eye appeared the same, it’s effect could be seen on the beautiful wash of light upon the silent stones of Red Rocks, CO.
