Head Outside To Catch The Supermoon
Saturday night we will be graced with the first of three “supermoons.”
Technically, it’s called a "perigee moon," but whatever you choose to call it, what is really means is that the moon is going to be within 90 percent of its closest proximity to earth, making it look up to 14 percent bigger and brighter than usual.

NASA has found that “for reasons not fully understood by astronomers or psychologists, low-hanging moons look unnaturally large when they beam through trees, buildings, and other foreground objects.”
So consider skipping the bar tonight, and instead spend the evening lounging in the supermoonlight.
