Tonight's full Moon (if it's not cloudy where you are!) is a super Moon: this occurs when the Moon is both full and at perigee (closest approach to Earth) at the same time. It's only slightly larger, but people often comment that it appears a little brighter.
The photo is of last's night's gibbous Moon, just one day off full. The young ray crater Tycho shows up particularly well.
