Werewolf alert!

The biggest full moon of the year occurs this week. And I'm all out of silver bullets. Better stay indoors until November, when the lycanthropes will be all feeble and droopy.

This month's full moon is due to be about 16 percent brighter than average. In contrast, later this year on Nov. 28, the full moon will coincide with apogee, the moon's farthest approach, offering a particularly small and dim full moon.
