no
it was a waxing gibbous last night (on Friday the 14th)
Tonight the 16th November 2009 is a new Moon, so last night there should have been no Moon visible.
On May 5th 2012, the night's full moon is dubbed a "super moon. It looked larger and brighter than all other full moons that year. The Super Moon is known technically as a perigee moon, The moons distance from our planet varies constantly. Last night, the full moon appeared at the same time as at its closest point to the Earth, on the perigee side of the orbit.
