Supermoon is a spectacular sight! The upcoming supermoon - on Monday, Nov. 14 - will be especially "super" because it's the closest full moon to Earth since 1948. We won't see another supermoon like this until 2034. The moon's orbit around Earth is slightly elliptical so sometimes it is closer and sometimes it's farther away. When the moon is full as it makes its closest pass to Earth it is known as a supermoon. At perigree - the point at which the moon is closest to Earth - the moon can be as much as 14 percent closer to Earth than at apogee, when the moon is farthest from our planet. The full moon appears that much larger in diameter and because it is larger shines 30 percent more moonlight onto the Earth. The biggest and brightest moon for observers in the United States will be on Monday morning just before dawn. On Monday, Nov. 14, the moon is at perigee at 6:22 a.m. EST and "opposite" the sun for the full moon at 8:52 a.m. EST (after moonset for most of the US). So, go out at night on either Sunday or Monday night to see the supermoon! #nasa #space #moon #supermoon #earth #nasabeyond #astronomy #fullmoon #science |

CeeJay9ja:to put it simply, the moon "came closer to Earth", the moon essentially can not get bigger! |

Has it passed Nigeria yet? I didn't see anything. Edited: raced out to see it. Orange coloured moon. I wish the clouds had cleared for me to take a pic. |
