For some of You This Will be the First and Only Time You Will Experience This
Today is a super moon.it is the largest moon since 1948. it will be up to 14% bigger and thirty % brighter than usual. The reason for this is because it is closer to the earth than at any time since 1948, or it's a . "perigee" moon.
If you catch a glimpse of it as it rises there is another spectacular effect. This is an optical illusion caused by the moon being close to the horizon, where it can be measured against familiar objects such as trees and houses.
