Super Moon 2016

A supermoon – the term for a full moon that is larger and brighter than normal full moons – is a fascinating celestial phenomenon. At this time, the full moon is closest to the Earth, so it is not only larger and brighter than average, but also its influence is stronger. This supermoon will not only be the biggest this year, but the biggest in the 21st century! The super moon on Monday, November 14, 2016 will be the closest to Earth since the super moon that was in the sky on January 26, 1948!
