Full moon will be closest to Earth in nearly 20 years.
Grab your telescopes and cameras and look to the heavens Saturday night. That’s when we’re in for another “supermoon.” Astronomers are saying that this supermoon will be even more super than usual. “The last full moon so big and close to Earth occurred in March of 1993,” Geoff Chester of the U.S. Naval Observatory in Washington D.C. told USA Today. This supermoon (a phrase coined by astrologer Richard Nolle in 1979) will appear especially large because the moment of perigee—when the moon is closest to the Earth in its monthly rotation—will coincide with the appearance of a perfectly full moon, Smithsonian points out. During last year’s Super Moon on March 19, 2011, for comparison, the perigee and full moon were 50 minutes apart. On …

The current water level, or lack thereof, in Hawes Brook may put the annual Rubber Duck race on hiatus.
The dry, warm winter could prevent a yearly Norwood tradition from happening this spring. The annual South Norwood Rubber Duck Race is on hold while the Recreation and Public Works departments work to see if something can be done about the low water level in Hawes Brook. Organizer Linda Berger said that she wasn't sure if there was enough water in the brook for the little ducks to make it to the finish line. According to the Norwood Recreation Department's Facebook page, "Due to the lack of precipitation this year, the ducks will face many challenges that will make it impossible to go down the river." As The Boston Globe reported last month, meteorologists have said much of the eastern half of Massachusetts is currently experiencing …
