One of my images used for the NASA video: “The Super Moon of May 2012″

As shown in the NASA‘ s video (click on the image above to watch it), the perigee full Moon in May 2012 will be as much as 14% bigger and 30% brighter than other full moons of 2012. I had the honour to have one of my images included in the NASA‘ s video (see @1:40 of the video).

The video also appears on the NASA web site: HERE and HERE
