The Week Ahead: Social Security Seminar, Poetry, Music, Sidewalk Sales, And More

On Monday, there will be another supermooon! Head down to the Guilford shoreline to check it out, or even in your own backyard. If you get a great picture, be sure to post it to the announcements in Guilford Patch. 

From earthsky.org, here is some information about the supermoon: "The July 2013 full moon falls on Monday, July 22, 2013 at 18:16 UTC. This month’s full moon falls one day after July’s lunarperigee, which is the moon’s closest point to Earth for this monthly orbit. Astronomers will call this full moon aperigee full moon, but everyone else will call it a supermoon, according to a definition coined in recent decades by an astrologer." Visit earthsky.org to find out more.
