November's 'Supermoon' is The Biggest In Nearly 70 Years

Social media is abuzz with the biggest, the closest and the brightest 'supermoon' to occur on November 14 after 68 years. This means that the moon will be 14 percent bigger and 30 percent brighter than a normal full moon




The last time the moon was this close to Earth was in 1948, and since the next one will appear in 2034. This rare supermoon results when the moon reaches its full phase at the closes point to Earth along the s satellite’s elliptical orbit, causing the object to look somewhat bigger and brighter in the sky than usual, according to NASA.
