The best times to see November's big supermoon
Post# of 50712
Astronomers call the closest-to-the-Earth moment the perigee. What makes November 14 special is that the moon “becomes full within about two hours of perigee—arguably making it an extra-super moon,” NASA explained. In short: a so-called supermoon occurs when a full moon happens as the moon is also closest to Earth.
NASA says that Earth can be bathed in 30 percent more moonlight during a supermoon
