The supermoon that rose over Toronto last November 14th was the biggest the Earth has seen. The precise moment that the moon became full was 8:52 a.m. on November 14, which means it appeared full to the human eye starting on the night of November 13. Most noticeable about the extra big moon was its brightness which was about 30% brighter. "When the moon is near the horizon, it can look unnaturally large when viewed through trees, buildings, or other foreground objects," explains NASA. "The effect is an optical illusion, but that fact doesn't take away from the experience." PHOTO BY WAVES
Ten easy ways to be a good Toronto resident By Derek Flack
Living in a big city can pose some challenges when it comes to eti- quette. With so many people crammed into relatively limited space, it's particularly important that everyone tacitly agree to certain common sense rules about how to behave for the greater good of the city. Alas, too often these rules are forgotten and city life is dragged down by a few rotten apples. For a primer on how to avoid this fate, here are 10 easy ways to be a good Toronto resident. 1. Walk left, stand right. You may no longer find the signs on the TTC, but this is basic escalator etiquette that respects the fact some people are in a rush while others happy to cruise to their destinations. 2. While we're on the subject of the TTC, please make sure to take off your backpack, only take up one seat, and never rush the doors to enter a train before everyone has gotten off. 3. Support your local brewery. To- ronto's craft beer scene might seem like an unstoppable industry at times, but it's tough to compete with the big conglomerates. Buying from local breweries is the best way to ensure that we continue to see inter- esting beer made here. (Continued on page17 )

Lampley explains: “It would be a shame and an- other loss for boxing if casual fans, boxing bro- kers, the general public, were distracted by a for- profit only replay of a considerably less interest- ing fight.” Warns Lampley: “Avoid falling for the pitch that a surgically repaired shoulder and a decision win over Jessie Vargas are indications that Manny Pacquiao is ready to beat Floyd Mayweather Jr.” If the rematch ever pushes through, Lampley warns, it would be a big, big win for shameless profit-takers.
