Biggest Full Moon for Twenty Years! Boy do we know it here!

With one week to go until the full moon I have to say J is mega hyper and restless.
He is a head banging, hand flapping, noise making, hysterical laughing whirlwind.
This is with seven days to go!
But the full moon is going to be the biggest it has been since two decades ago as it is at its closest to Earth.
It will be approximately 14% bigger in the sky.
It is at a distance of 221,567 miles in its elliptical orbit.
That 221,567 miles is making my son go super loco.
I can presume it will only become worse as the days get closer to it occuring, and goodness knows what he will be like on the actual night.
